Paddle for the Bay

This is a one time event to break a Guinness World Record for the most kayaks and canoes in a continuous mile long parade. The current world record of 329 boats is held in Poland.

Launch your boat at the beaches along Pine Beach, Beachwood, or any location on the Toms River and paddle over to the Official Tent at Avon Beach Lot at Riverside Drive and Avon Road. 

Official start time is 8:00 AM and check-in will begin at 7:30 AM and will remain open until 11:00 AM.  Sign-in tent will be at this beach where you will get your official boat number and participant wrist band. 

Boats will head east along the Pine Beach shoreline for one half mile, pass the Pine Beach Yacht Club and then paddle back to the finish line.

This is a rain or shine event, No Refunds! 

Registration fee is $10 per boat.

It's not a race and not a mass start so you all don't have to show up at 7:30!

This is a "Green" event, meaning no medals, tee shirts, water or food will be provided. 

The thrill of participating in this fun event is your reward! Be sure to list your group or organization name when registering! Largest group to complete will be able to print a "Bragging Rights" certificate. 

All participants must be physically able to paddle the distance unassisted and must wear an approved life jacket.

Proceeds will go to the non profit group "Save Barnegat Bay".
