The Experience

Before You Go

Bring binoculars

A compact pair (8x42) will dramatically improve bird identification at the estuary and along the coast.

Sun protection

Wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses are essential — the coast offers little shade during peak sun hours.

Wear grippy shoes

Terrain includes sandy tracks and compacted earth; trail-running shoes or lightweight hikers work best.

Respect wildlife distances

Avoid approaching nesting or feeding birds — use zoom optics and stay on designated paths to minimize disturbance.
