Come hang with Gian and Gretchen for some very chill vibes at Point Dume! We will be doing a short 1.4 mile hike before hanging out at the beach where we will relax, play games, swim, and eat chicken tacos. Gretchen is the greatest bird watcher alive so expect some top tier bird facts and identifications! Gian is not known for bird watching, but is the ultimate purveyor of vibes.
