For a stunning, 3-D experience with sights, sounds and
wonderment only available in nature, visit the Bolsa Chica
Ecological Reserves, commonly known as the wetlands. It is
located on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach,
directly across Highway 1 entrance to Bolsa Chica State
Beach. Open daily from dawn to dusk, there's free parking, a
1.5 mile loop trail and a bridge you can stand on and watch
the birds sore, dart and dive bomb into the water to snatch
their daily meals from the ocean inlet waters.
A
significant wetlands region in the Pacific Flyway for
migratory birds, rare and endangered species stop at Bolsa
Chica during their very long journeys. It is also a year
round home to numerous species that you can see daily. Take
binoculars, cameras and jackets in the winter. Do not take
bicycle and pets because you won't be permitted to ride
bikes or walk your dog in the area.
