Price

Duration
4 Hours
Description
We’ll walk through a mangrove forest along the approximately half-mile boardwalk which crosses over the small bridge that spans Clam Bay. From here we should see a variety of wading birds and often an Osprey or two. Next we’ll head directly to Clam Pass to view an early morning assortment of coastal waterbirds, both on the beach and fishing along the inlet.
What to Wear
Clothing appropriate for the weather and comfortable shoes appropriate for boardwalk and beach. If you are susceptible to the sun, a long sleeved shirt, long pants and a hat may be appropriate.
What to Bring
Binoculars, camera, water, sunscreen, bird field guide (if you have one). We also suggest that you bring a small day or fanny pack to carry these items in so that your hands will be free while birding.
$10 parking fee may apply if you do not have a Collier County Beach Parking Sticker.
