- Keep the alcohol drinking on the down low! It's a state beach!
- We'll dig a hole and stick a cooler in it, and cover it over with a beach blanket!
- There will be no cell phone reception where we're at. So make sure you know exactly where we are at in Santa Cruz! It's not the boardwalk! Please look at the screenshot for assistance on where we're at.
- It's best to go early. We'll be there at 10:00am to set up. Parking is a pain!
- Bring whatever food you can! Think "beach snacks". The less utensils the better!
- We always have a base turnout, so even if you can't make it it's fine. Our base turnout is at least a dozen people.
- Do not wait until the last minute to look up the directions and location! Don't be left out because you got lost!
