Bird Island Reserve
A protected barrier island with dunes, wide sandy beaches, coastal marsh and abundant shorebirds — ideal for sunrise/sunset seascapes, bird portraits, and minimalist dune compositions. Visit at dawn or golden hour for soft light and reflections; low tide reveals sandbars and long foregrounds. Small parking and boardwalk access; seasonal nesting closures require staying behind signs. Expect wind and bugs; bring layers.
