Autism Fun Bay Area Family Hike August 14 Santa Cruz Harbor

Save to Favorites

Autism Fun Bay Area sponsors outings and simple hikes for special needs families all over the Bay Area. On August 14 we're walking 1.5 miles to Seabright beach, via the Santa Cruz Harbor, hanging out at the beach, and trekking back.

Volunteers help keep an eye on the kids, and occasionally carry things like water or light objects. It's an easygoing and the families really appreciate having volunteers onhand! No experience necessary, just comfy walking shoes and a good attitude!

Sunday, August 14, 10:30am : Santa Cruz Harbor Walk and Seabright Beach
Logistics: Meet no later than 10.30am at 1506 Broadway, Santa Cruz. Without traffic, it's 40 minutes from central San Jose, about 50-55 minutes from Palo Alto. From there, we will walk the lovely new Arana Gulch trail to the Santa Cruz Harbor path, stop at Frederick Street Park just off the trail, then proceed down to Seabright Beach near the lighthouse. Then you can stay at the beach or take the free Water Taxi back up the harbor to Arana Gulch and walk to the cars. Or just walk back. All in all, it's a 3-hour tour, 3-4 miles total. Most of the walk is flat, a few tiny climbs in the Gulch.
Bring: Backpack with water, snacks, towel. Wear sunscreen, hats, comfy shoes. Dogs on leash are just fine. Scooter and bikes, too. If you're feeling extra strong, feel free to bring a beach tent or chair.
RSVP: Because plans are always subject to change, please RSVP to info.autismfunbayarea@gmail.com
