The process starts with a personal consultation where you express what it is you want for the picnic, and Sandy Toes takes care of the rest. If it looks like rain on the day of your picnic, you can either reschedule it for another day, or Sandy Toes will arrange for an indoor space to hold the event.

While glass is not allowed on the beach, Sandy Toes provides lovely plastic ware. Likewise, candles are forbidden, but you can have flameless candles for that romantic atmosphere. Alcohol is prohibited on the beach, but you can have countless other tasty beverages with your meal!
