Description

Escape the city and discover one of the Hudson Valley’s hidden gems! Join us for an easy, scenic walk through Croton Point Park, a 508-acre peninsula with sweeping Hudson River views, peaceful meadows, and shady paths. Our adventure ends at a sandy beach, where you can cool off with a refreshing swim or simply relax by the water. The perfect summer getaway!

We’ll end this adventure at a cozy local restaurant, where we can relax, share stories, and enjoy some time together before heading back to the city.

To help everyone have a great experience, we’ll follow all beach rules and regulations. Please remember that speakers and alcohol are not allowed on the beach.

We are getting away from the city to forget about timing, enjoy nature and socialize. If you’re looking to make new outdoorsy friends, you’ve found the perfect place. But if you’re seeking a fast-paced group, this might not be the right fit.
