*****What to Expect*****

Come hang out at the beach with a bunch of friendly people. Most are ENM, but you don't have to be. This event is less about structured conversation and more just a chance to see friends, make new friends, and enjoy some time at the beach.

If I'm adequately organized, we'll have a setup to make tea. Some people like to bring food to share, but not required. We'll often have a fire going.

*****Food and beverages*****

No cover or cost to attend, but food and beverages (non-alcoholic) to share are welcomed. Hosts will bring some snacks to share, so please do feel free just to pop by for a few minutes to say hi or to settle in for a chunk of time.

*****Event Guidelines*****

• Respectful behavior toward hosts and guests is required. As we have a wonderful community, this is rarely an issue, but still, it's so important that everyone feels safe. Anyone who violates these rules may be asked to leave the event.

•No alcohol, we want to follow the beach rules.

•No photography, video, or recording of any kind is allowed

•Adult focus: This event is intended for adults since some conversation might not be appropriate for children. While children can attend, it is the responsibility of their parent/guardian to remove their kids from conversations that are not age-appropriate.

•Expectations: Our events are about developing friendships and connections within the community. Check your expectations at the door. Being at this event does not signal sexual availability or indicate any aspect of sexual orientation. This is a no cruising event, in order to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for our guests.

**What does "no cruising" mean?**

The no cruising guideline has a lot to do with intentions. Are you coming to this event specifically to go home with a bunch of numbers and dates on the calendar? We'd discourage that. But, are you wanting to come and socialize with other poly people? Great! And does that sometimes naturally lead to dates? Sure does! Just as one might end up dating someone they meet at a running club even though the running club is not specifically set up to be a dating event.
