The quest
Spend an hour on the public sand or stones at Accidental Beach (east of centre, Edmonton). Leave with five shoreline things you could find again tomorrow.
Steps
- Stay on the public beach at Accidental Beach. No private docks.
- Walk Accidental Beach's waterline until you have a list of five shoreline things.
- Turn around. Lifeguard flags, if any, are the boss.
Why this is on the board
Edmonton was built on water whether the skyline admits it or not. Accidental Beach (east of centre, Edmonton) is a named public edge: five things on the waterline, then you turn around.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
