Barbara B. Pedersen Wildlife Preserve
Small coastal-wetland preserve with freshwater marshes, boardwalks and dense vegetation—rich for wading birds, turtles and reflections. Best at dawn and golden hour for soft light and mirror-like water; weekdays and dry season (Nov–Apr) reduce bugs and standing water. Easy roadside parking off Scenic Hwy; trails and boardwalks are accessible but bring insect repellent and waterproof shoes. No fee reported; respect wildlife and quiet.
