Urban Exploring is a delicate art, a dance between curiosity and responsibility. We seek to uncover the hidden while ensuring our impact on communities, locations, and other explorers is a net positive. The Beacon Group is a return to the “glory days” of Urban Exploration; a movement that seeks to teach, create, and brighten the image of Urban Exploration as a hobby.

Our name reflects our philosophy: exploration thrives in discretion. Sharing too much, too publicly, can bring unwanted attention to the locations we visit, no matter how careful you might think you’re being. Some doors are meant to be opened quietly, without fanfare.

Our symbol, the lighthouse, shines as a reminder to guide, not reveal. Lighthouses throughout time have warned of danger, offered hope, and ensured safe passage to those who tread the same paths. The Beacon Group is the Urbex community’s lighthouse in the times of clout chasers and social media. It is a reminder that even in the darkest places, there is light to be found – if you know where to look.

We seek to guide, connect, and foster Urban Explorer’s to build a new age of underground explorers and communities, reminiscent of the internet forum days of UER, Hollow Hills, and others.

Our doors are open to those who share our values and vision. Whether you’re new to this world or a seasoned traveler of hidden realms, you’ll find the camaraderie and guidance you seek within our group. If the unseen calls to you, and you’re ready to explore in new ways, you’ll always have a place in The Beacon Group.
