Shoreline Strolls

Join us on Gansevoort Peninsula and take a tour from our salt marsh to our tide pools during West Side Fest!

During West Side Fest: Shoreline Strolls, you’ll have the chance to learn more about Gansevoort Peninsula’s fascinating ecosystems from our River Project team. From a sandy shoreline beach with tide pools to a pine grove, pile field, and salt marsh, it is also one of the most fascinating sites to learn about local ecology.

Meeting Location and How to Register

The tour will meet at the Gansevoort Peninsula comfort station, located on the eastern side of the Peninsula.

We encourage guests to bring binoculars, wear comfortable walking shoes and to bring a hat and/or sunglasses.

Space is limited; please register in advance on our Humanitix page.
