****Barnegat Bay At Twilight****

Few things are as beautiful as a Barnegat Bay sunset. The ribbons of color racing across the sky are reflected in the rippling water. No place allows you to bear witness to this sight better than a seat on Ocean County Park’s Bay Cruiser II. As day surrenders to night, darkness allows for a new perspective on the shoreline and sky. Please join us for a relaxed cruise along the shores of Cattus Island. A naturalist will be on board to answer questions and interpret the sights and sounds of twilight.
