Meeting Location

Mizell-Johnson State Park, 6503 N Ocean Dr, Dania Beach, FL 33004
We will meet at the Jetty Pavilion, if available. The Jetty Pavilion is located at the far north end of the park, approximately 2.5 miles from the park entrance, directly across the street from Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center. The Jetty Pavilion can be accessed from the Jetty Parking Lot which is on the right (east) side of the street.

Entrance Fee: The park entrance fee for this event has been waived. Upon arriving at the park entrance, tell the park ranger that you are attending a Saltwater Studies event.

Class Topic & Activity

Students will learn about species that can be found in the wrack line of a sandy beach environment. Species discussed will focus on the wide variety of sea beans that can be found along Florida’s coastlines. The day’s activity will include a beach walk where we will search the beach for marine life.

Appropriate Attire

Please come prepared to get wet! Have your child wear his or her swimsuit, beach-appropriate clothing, water shoes and bring a filled water bottle.
