What to Do at the Beach This Weekend: June 22–25, 2017

Unwind with a yoga class, take in a country concert and more.

 

Now that the kids are out of school, the beach season is in full swing, and there are several activities aimed at younger audiences, including a performance of “Peter Pan,” crafts, a juggler and a kids’ fishing tournament. Meanwhile, a trail of revelers is gearing up to stumble down the beach after a “bull” during a beloved Starboard tradition. Spirits, country singers and sea glass are also the focus this weekend.
