Shorebird Stroll

The walk will be ~2 miles total. We will begin in the parking lot and stroll along the beach for ~1 mile to the Amelia Island Critical Wildlife Area, where there will be an opportunity to see an active seabird colony! Once the group reaches the Critical Wildlife Area, participants may choose to walk back to the parking lot with their guides or remain in the park and explore/recreate independently.

Along the way, we will observe bird behavior, practice identification skills, and learn about the habitats shorebirds depend on. There will also be fun (optional) activity for those who wish to document what they see during the walk.

Note: the event is free, but there is a cost of admission associated with entry into the state park ($2 per person). Please be sure to arrive on time, as the walk will be starting promptly at 9:30am! Following the walk, participants can remain in the park until sunset.

• Dress for the weather/beach
• Wear comfortable shoes for walking up to 2 miles in sand
• Strongly encouraged to bring sunscreen, water, snacks, and binoculars (if you have any)
