Descrição

This beach at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a great place to observe seabirds, shorebirds and migrating waterfowl. It is best to carry a spotting scope to watch seabirds from the shore. A walk on the beach rewards you with several species of shorebirds, especially in spring, summer and fall. The dune habitat hosts several species of sparrows ( Savannah, Field, Song, Clay-colored, Lark), Blue Buntings and sometimes Snow Buntings in the winter, Blue Grosbeak.

The North side of the beach is closed to the public for 1 mile to offer a resting place for birds. The best way to explore the beach is by foot but bicycles are allowed. It is best to explore at low tide when the sand is packed (see a link to the tides table below). The circular trail indicated on the map is about 2 km.
