Kayaks & SUPs at South Beach
Storage Policy
We love seeing our members out on the water! To ensure the beach remains spacious and accessible for everyone, please observe the following rules:
🌙Overnight Storage - Requires renting a slot
To leave your Kayak, SUP, or canoe on the South beach overnight, you must rent a storage space for the summer season. Any Kayaks, SUPs, or canoes left on the beach overnight without a designated slot assignment may be removed.
☀️ Day Use
Free and open to all members! Feel free to bring your watercraft down for the day. Please remember to take it back home with you when you leave.
