Why not take a Guiding Beachcombing Tour! Led by volunteers who share a passion for the beach and aquatic life, beach tours are one-hour excursions that are as informative as they are enjoyable. At a cost of only $1 per person, the family-friendly environmental walks along the sand give tour-takers the opportunity to explore the beach and learn interesting facts about the surrounding environment. The tours are very popular with children and adults alike. Tours take place promptly at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday mornings on the 29th Street Beach (weather permitting) – no pre-registration is required – simply show-up and join the fun! For more information about the Guided Beachcombing Tours, call (215) 805-9277.
