What should I wear?
It can get really cold and windy out on the ocean so it is a good idea to layer and bring wind resistant jackets. If it’s hot you can wear jeans or shorts with a T-shirt but make sure you bring a warm sweater or wind breaker for the early morning and or night time. We also recommend flat, close toed, slip resistant shoes.
