01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Bus Benefit is run by the nonprofit Buses by the Beach, which has raised money for the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors since 2003. Live music plays on a main stage, open-mic acoustic sessions happen on the Woods Stage and Saturday night brings a silent disco, along with raffles, a silent auction and family activities. It's primitive camping, and non-VW visitors are welcome.
