Afterward\, the group heads to the beach for a salty adventure. Parking is in front of the Visitor Center; there is no parking fee. \nThe Visitor Center address: 505 Guana River Road\, Ponte Vedra Beach\, FL  32082. \nPlease CLICK HEREto reserve a spot online for the Beach Exploration. \nDo I need a reservation to attend?  \n\nYes\, register online by following the links provided above.\n\nIf I can’t make it\, how do I cancel my reservation?  \n\nWhen you register\, you receive an email confirmation with information about canceling.\n\nWhat should I wear?  \n\nAppropriate clothing for the outdoors is recommended.

At any point during the hike\, visitors can take swim breaks in the beautiful ocean.\n\nWhat will I learn?  \n\nThe GTM Research Reserve interpretive guide discusses where the restless sand comes from\, where it’s going and its refusal to stay put. Ask why the sand is fine or coarse and how it got its color. Learn about coquina rocks\, dune flowers\, sea birds\, shells\, and the humble gopher tortoise that digs deep burrows and comes out to dine on prickly pears along the dunes.\n\nHow old does my child need to be to attend? Can I push a stroller?  \n\nThere are no age restrictions for this hike\, but the Florida heat can be uncomfortable for small children. You can push a stroller; however\, we strongly recommend strollers with large beach-capable wheels.\n\nI have a bad back. Can I still participate in this hike?  \n\nThe hike is a moderately paced with soft sand terrain. Join the hike if you feel comfortable walking through beach sand for about half of a mile.\n\nIs there anything else to see afterward? \n\nIf you like\, stay at the beach longer and collect shells\, swim in the ocean\, or lie in the sun.
