Small, accessible preserve with elevated boardwalks through mangrove forest, freshwater ponds, butterfly and native plant gardens — great for intimate nature, bird and macro shots. Visit at dawn for active wading birds and calm water reflections; late afternoon offers warm light through mangroves. Easy parking and free entry; boardwalks are mostly wheelchair-friendly. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded; bring bug spray in warm months.
