Description

Celebrate the completion of the shoreline restoration project that deepens our connection to Carter’s Creek. This spring, the Tides Inn embarked on a shoreline restoration project that deepens our connection to Carter’s Creek and the greater Chesapeake Bay region. The $3.6 million project includes a “living shoreline,” oyster reef, beach restoration, hands-on educational programming and community partnerships, especially with Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR). 12:00pm Community Planting Day: An opportunity to get your hands dirty and have a hand in creating a living shoreline for generations to enjoy! You will help plant the new wetlands area - along with community members and FOR representatives. Boats will be available for small groups to view the oyster reef and living shoreline. 5:00pm Live music on the beach – with a visit from Rosie, the resort’s vintage bar cart. 5:30pm Ribbon cutting and presentation. 6:00pm Oyster Roast: Executive Chef Truman Jones and team present the best from our coast and local farmers at a “low-country boil” dinner, including Rappahannock River oysters, cocktail stations and musical entertainment.
