ESP By The Sea
What Is ESP By The Sea?
ESP By The Sea is a weekend beach retreat created for people with disabilities and their families to rest, reconnect, and experience joy together.
Held along the coast, this experience brings families into a setting designed for ease, fun, and meaningful connection. Throughout the weekend, ESP staff and volunteers walk alongside families—supporting activities, creating space for community, and making sure every person feels welcomed, seen, and cared for.
More than a trip, ESP By The Sea is a shared experience where laughter is easy, relationships deepen, and families are reminded they are not alone. It’s a chance to slow down, enjoy the beauty of the beach, and build memories that last long after the weekend ends.

Individuals of all ages and abilities are welcome. ESP By The Sea is thoughtfully designed to be adaptive and flexible, ensuring that everyone, from young children to adults, can participate in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful.
Community-Centered
ESP By The Sea brings together families from diverse backgrounds into a welcoming, joy-filled community. The weekend is centered on connection, shared experiences, and celebrating each person’s unique abilities – creating moments that strengthen families and friendships alike.
