A lunch of burgers on the beach? An afternoon of tidepooling? A long walk on the beach? A classic triad of the pleasures of man are yours to indulge in this Saturday, January 25 led by guides Adam and Zoe. After sleeping in Saturday morning, we will head to Crystal Cove and begin with lunch at an idyllic burger+fries+shake shack (aka Crystal Cove Shake Shack) overlooking the beach for a nostalgic southern California experience (burgers not included in trip price, bring some funds!). We will continue our Day of Bliss by taking a long walk on the beach and saying hello to our little friends in their tide pools—an acknowledgment that is all too often forgotten in our city of rancid individualism and environmental detachment. Hope you can all make it!
