There’s a whole different side to the island after the sun goes down. On this guided evening walk, you’ll explore the beach and maritime forest as daylight fades into night. We’ll watch the sky shift at sunset, look up at the stars, and search for nocturnal wildlife as it begins to emerge. Along the way, we’ll talk about how these habitats change after dark and how animals are adapted to life at night. Keep an eye out for ghost crabs on the beach, nighttime sounds in the forest, and whatever else the island reveals after hours.

This experience includes about two hours of walking over changing terrain, from forest paths to soft sand, so come ready to explore after dark.

What to wear: Comfortable walking shoes for the beach and forest. Light-weight clothes for hot summer temperatures.

What to bring: water bottle, bug spray, flashlight
