A Note to Our Boating Community Attending King of the Wing 2026 🛥️🌴
We’re truly grateful for the growing support from our boating friends — it means so much to see you all showing up to be part of the King of the Wing celebration!
To help ensure a safe and smooth experience for everyone at the beach, the Magens Bay Authority will be on hand to assist with passenger drop-offs and guide you through the process.
📍 Please use the designated drop-off area on the northern corner of the beach (right side near Shed #1) for safely letting passengers off.
⚓ Once you’ve dropped off your guests, kindly moor your vessel in the boating area set aside for the event.
🚫 And for everyone’s safety, we kindly ask that you do not swim from the beach to boats that are outside the designated mooring zone.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep this a safe and enjoyable event for all. We’re looking forward to a fantastic day together — on land and at sea!
