Trips & beach days
LKSA facilitates connections between members for weekend trips and beach days throughout the year — primarily through the community WhatsApp groups, where members self-organise when conditions look right.
Trips listed here are organised by individual members, not by LKSA. There is no central booking, no fixed schedule, and no liability on the part of the association. All participants are responsible for their own safety, insurance, and travel arrangements.
To get involved and be added to the planning groups, message us on WhatsApp, or Telegram.
