Join us at Lynch Park for a sauna session by the sea. Our cedar barrel sauna is heated to temperatures upward of 180°F and is the perfect accompaniment to New England’s early autumn season. Sauna has many health benefits, including relaxation and stress relief, temporary relief from pain, improved cardiovascular and respiratory functioning, and reduced inflammation. Kick things up a notch by cooling off in the sea. If the sea is not your thing, relaxing in the brisk salty New England air is a perfect alternative. There is nothing like it and we are so proud and excited to bring this experience to the Beverly community. This wonderful wood fired sauna sits up to 6 people. Book a spot on the bench for an hour, or multiple spots for you and your friends. Wear a swimsuit, bring your towel, water bottle and don't forget water shoes if planning to visit the shore.
This is an age 16+ event.
