Ring in 2022 with a Walk on the Beach in New York & New Jersey

Ring in the New Year with a walk on the beach. Join the American Littoral Society at Sandy Hook, NJ or Ft. Tilden, NY on January 1 at 11 a.m.

The walks are free and suitable for anyone able to walk a few miles, with part of that distance being on sandy beaches. Leashed dogs are welcome.

Dress for the weather and bring your own water. Be aware of National Park Service Covid restrictions, as both walks take place inside Gateway National Recreation Area units.

We'll hike along the beach and visit the hawk watch platform on top of Battery Harris east.

At noon we'll try to communicate with the Littoral Society group hiking across the bight at Sandy Hook.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own snacks and water. Access to buildings may be limited due to National Park Service COVID precautions. Participants who are unvaccinated should wear a mask and anyone who has been recently exposed to COVID should stay home.
