Visit at low tide for exposed mudflats and high bird activity; golden hour brings warm sidelighting across reeds. Expect basic pull‑off parking and no visitor center—bring waterproof boots, bug spray and a long lens. Winter and migration seasons (fall–spring) offer the highest species counts; weekdays and early mornings minimize
