Visiting the sand dollar beds isn't for the timid! No they don't bite, but the journey to see them is no easy float. The first half of this trip takes advantage of an incoming tide, flushing participants far up into the inner bay toward to our destination. Because the NOAA tides predictions are only predictions, participants should be prepared for anything. For instance, the journey to the sand dollar beds may involve short portages and using teamwork to carry the kayaks with us. On the return trip, we will paddling against an mild incoming tidal current and potentially a Northwest wind. If you are up for a challenge, this is the trip for you.

Restrictions: Children under 16 yrs. and people with serious medical conditions are not allowed on this trip. Anyone over 230lbs should notify us during registration to ensure we have the proper gear. 

Where: Netarts Bay area. Sign up for specific location details.
