We will meet (TBD) in the Parking lot at Sunnyside Beach (pay parking for non-Steilacoom residents). Conduct pre-launch briefings and then launch from Sunnyside Beach and paddle along the coast to the DuPont beach. We will conduct necessary rescue training, have lunch on the beach and then reverse the paddle.
I expect this sea kayak trip to have this difficulty and these conditions. View the sea kayak difficulties definitions on the Activity Types page.
