Six Elevated Experiences you’ll Experience #OnlyAtTurtleBay
1. Surf with a Pup
What can be more fun than hanging ten with a furry friend? Learning the skill of surfing is never “ruff” with former pro-surfer Rocky Canon and his pawsome canines. You can choose to surf or Stand Up Paddle Board on the legendary North Shore. Don’t forget to give yourself a round of a-paws when you catch your first wave. This exciting excursion is great for dog lovers of all ages and skill levels
2. Savor a Beach Picnic
An unforgettable romantic picnic for two or a fun family soiree, our beach picnics are completely customizable and utterly unforgettable. To surprise, delight, and always entertain, the resort can even design a spectacular setting with flowers, candles, and more to set the scene of your best beach dreams.
You can choose how simple or extravagant you desire your alfresco meal by the sea to be. Savor a selection of local beer, spritz cocktails, kid-friendly mocktails, or Dom Perignon. From pupus to birthday cakes, whatever you are craving, catering is available.
