Seaside Shuffle – September 10th, 2023

The HBCA is proud bring back to the community, in conjunction with 91.7 Coast FM, the 3RD SEASIDE SHUFFLE!  Join us on Sunday, September 10th at Coopers Green Park on the shores of beautiful Halfmoon Bay.

We’re creatively crafting a morning of waterfront activities, sponsored by Lincoln Construction, to celebrate the “Seaside”.  Low tide is at 9.20 a.m. with the beach largely uncovered until noon. Here’s what we anticipate, free to whoever wants to participate:

Low tide exploration with Lee-Ann Ennis (founder of Vital Kelp)
Paddle regatta for kayaks, canoes, SUPs or any human powered craft – Coopers Green to Welcome Beach and back
Swimming
• Product demos and try-outs from HYPR Paddle Boards

Water activities will be monitored by our friends at the Halfmoon Bay Marine Search and Rescue Station, for safety and peace of mind.

Then we’ll move into the park, for the “Shuffle” portion of the day.
