Small boardwalk viewing platform overlooking Otama Wetland's tidal flats and saltmarsh — prime for birdlife, mirror reflections and layered foregrounds. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and mist; low tide reveals mudflats and feeding shorebirds. Short walk from carpark, no fee; respect nesting areas and keep dogs leashed. Weather can change quickly—dress for wind and rain.
