Sat, July 28, 2018, 6:30 pm: Hike to Betty's Hope beach

General info for all hikes and walks: Hikes and walks are $5 for members, and $10 for non-members (become a member). Unless otherwise noted, the pace for hikes is moderate, lasting 3-5 hours, covering 3-5 miles, the terrain is hilly, footing is sometimes uneven, and we follow trails and possibly paved or dirt roads . Walks are easier and shorter than hikes, and usually follow paved or dirt roads, no trails. The guide may periodically stop and talk along the way. Bring sturdy, comfortable walking or hiking shoes, water, snack, bug spray, rain poncho, and camera. Shorts or long pants are OK. For day hikes, bring a hat and sun block. For night hikes, bring a small flashlight. There are usually about 20 people. We depart about 30 minutes after the posted start time. For some hikes, we will meet at the indicated location, then drive a short distance to the hike location. If you can bring small bills to pay, it's appreciated.

Specific info for this hike: Meet 6:30pm near the old Texaco plant, just east of the entrance to Estate Enfield Green (west of the airport).

This is an easy hike that leads to the beach at Estate Betty’s Hope. The meeting place is east from Estate Enfield Green entrance, Route 64 West, at 6:30pm. We will discuss the natural, cultural, historical, and marine resources of the area.

It is about 1.5 miles total. Olasee Davis, ecologist is the tour guide. Bring flashlight and water!
