This is both a BEACH/PARK cleanup and a KAYAK cleanup! You can do EITHER, or BOTH! 

Information for KAYAKERS:

🦈 BYO kayak! You will be able to RENT a kayak from the park for $20-25/hour, depending on the size of the kayak (single/double). We will NOT be supplying kayaks. 

🦈 Kayakers should arrive NO LATER than 1:15pm. 

🦈 The plan is to kayak across an active boating channel to a little island where trash accumulates pretty badly.
