Meeting Time: 10:00 AM

Event Coordinator: Carl
South Boston, MA

Max # People: 15

Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money

Difficulty Level: Moderate

SUMMARY:

Join GayOutdoors for a 6.8-mile walk along Carson Beach in South Boston. This is part of our Get Fit series to help shake off that winter weight. We will meet at Castle Island and head south towards Old Harbor Park. Although the path is 7 miles, there is no elevation gain, which makes the distance a little more doable. The start time is 10 a.m., and the walk should take us about two hours to complete.

After, we’ll grab a bite at the iconic Sullivan’s (or Sully’s, as the locals call it) at Castle Island, which recently received the James Beard America’s Classics award for the Northeast.  The address for the parking lot is 2080 William J. Day Boulevard, South Boston, MA 02127. I hope you can join us!
