Episode 7
There’s just something about Ona Beach. Inside Brian Booth State Park on the Central Coast—if you travel through the trees, over the footbridge, and around the bend—a whole other world will emerge before your eyes. It’s the kind of beach you could spend hours getting lost in.
It’s also Bedrock Theatre’s newly adopted CoastWatch mile.
In the final episode of CoastWatch & Listen, join the whole Bedrock crew as we meet Mile 208, Ona Beach, for the first time; reflect on the lessons and inspirations imparted by the CoastWatchers we’ve met; and begin taking action to answer the question, “How can art and environmentalism coexist?”
CoastWatch & Listen is a community science & storytelling collaboration produced by Bedrock Theatre in partnership with Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition.
Special episode note: Although this is the conclusion of our audio series, our time as CoastWatchers is just beginning. If you are a current CoastWatcher and are interested in meeting up with us on our mile or yours, please reach out to us via our contact form. We would love to walk with you.
