Make waves on the summer solstice

The Onset Bay Center will host a free “Summer Solstice Paddle Tour” on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, offering participants a guided evening paddle on Onset Bay to celebrate the longest day of the year.

The event begins at 6 p.m. at the Onset Bay Center, 186 Onset Ave and is open to adults 18 and older.

Participants can join instructors for a brief safety overview before setting out on a guided paddle around the bay shortly before sunset. The group will then return to the Onset Bay Center.

The program is a guided tour rather than a lesson, and participants should have prior paddling experience and feel comfortable using a kayak or paddleboard.

All equipment will be provided, including single sit-on-top kayaks, double kayaks, single paddleboards and a large group paddleboard accommodating six to 10 people. Participants may also bring their own kayaks or paddleboards.

The event is free, those interested can sign up at onsetbaycenter.org.
