How does fresh local shrimp, smoked sausage, sweet corn, red potatoes and onions all boiled perfectly together in special seasonings served to you on a beautifully pristine beach sound? We will cruise to Capers Islands North Beach where you will have time to explore and shell hunt while we prepares dinner.

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early to Secure Parking
Parking near the beach can fill up quickly, especially on weekends—plan to arrive early for the best spots.
Wear Weather-Appropriate Clothing
Light, breathable fabrics work best in summer, but bring layers for cooler spring or fall evenings on the beach.
Protect Against Sun Exposure
Use sunscreen and wear a hat, as the beach offers limited shade during the cookout.
Keep Hydrated Throughout the Tour
Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, especially when cooking outdoors in warmer months.
