The adventure might lead you to various sites along the boardwalk or beach to unravel a mystery. Sometimes the adventure involves games and contests right on the beach. Dress up as your favorite character from the movies, compete for one of our trophies, and then settle into the sand for a family-friendly movie presented on a giant inflatable screen!
