Transformed and illuminated by the glow of the full moon, the beach and dunes of Castle Neck are a stunningly beautiful landscape.

To experience this special place at this magical time, join us for a unique hiking experience.

We’ll start with the beauty of a sunset while taking an evening walk along Crane Beach when most visitors have packed up and gone home for the day.

We’ll have ample time to take in the “Cape Ann light” that has been the inspiration of many artists over the years.

Then, we’ll then head into the dunes where we’ll explore the trails of Castle Neck under the light of the full moon.

You’ll enjoy the quiet of Pitch Pine groves and catch glimpses of the Atlantic as you crest the dunes.

You might even see some cranberries in the Neck’s naturally occurring cranberry bogs.

Please note: Our standard Full Moon Hike is suited to kids aged 12+ and/or who can comfortably hike 2-3 miles.

For families with smaller children, or those looking for a slower pace, please look for our CraneExplorer: Family Full Moon Hike offerings, which are shorter and go at a gentler pace.

Bring water and dress for the weather to maximize comfort.

You are welcome to bring a flashlight or headlamp, but we may ask for moments of total darkness to fully enjoy the moon and the shadows it makes on the dunes.
