Bring zip-lock baggies and have your children collect shells, sticks, seaweed, sand, rocks, and even seagull feathers. Ask your children questions about their finds. Talk about the creatures that lived in the shells. Have a picnic on the beach or the boardwalk. There is also a small playground where the children can climb, swing, and slide.
Ocean Beach is a great place for children to exercise their body as well as their minds.
