On-site registration begins at 7:30 AM at Cedar Beach Marina and the tour will launch at 9:00 AM. Participants should make sure to return to land by 11:00 AM. Whether you’re just starting out or are already an avid kayaker, there will be three separate trails for you to choose from, depending on your skill level:
Beginner Trail – 2.5 miles
Intermediate Trail – 3.5 Miles
Advanced Trail – 5.5 Miles
Hunter Squires Jackson American Legion Post 1218 had much of its internal infrastructure damaged due to vandalism and theft, including heat and water, and have been unable to rent out their building – which many veterans organizations rely on to pay their bills. Please help us support Hunter Squires Jackson American Legion Post 1218 as they work to get their building back to rentable condition.
If you do not have a kayak but would like to participate, The Dinghy Shop in Amityville is offering rentals for this event for $42 (includes kayak, life jacket and paddle). In addition, any rented kayak will be delivered by The Dinghy Shop to Cedar Beach the morning of the event. The Dinghy Shop will be donating 15% of the rental fees to the American Legion Post 1218.
To rent a kayak, please call The Dinghy Shop at (631) 264-0005.
