A short boardwalk through salt marsh and maritime forest on the Mississippi Coastal Birding Trail—prime for shorebirds, waders (egrets, herons), marsh reflections and textured grasses. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm side-light and low tides for exposed mudflats. Accessible trail and small parking on Hanshaw Rd; no entry fee. Mosquitoes in summer—bring repellent. Spring and fall migrations yield the most species; weekday mornings are quiet.
