FREE EVENT!Join us for an evening under the stars at Onset Beach and Wickets Island!
In groups, take the short boat trip over to Wickets Island to get a 360° view from the top away from light pollution (requires climbing stairs), cozy up by the campfire, and look to the stars! Stargazing will be self-guided, and an astronomy teacher and will offer participants an opportunity to use a telescope as we look to the sky and enjoy a chilly night by the bay!
