A wetlands area just inland from the beach reveals a different side of local ecology. While most visitors focus on the ocean and its marine life, at the Buena Vista Lagoon you can visit a vital habitat that's a prime place to spot birds and other creatures. To learn all about its ecology, stop by the lagoon's nature center , which is owned and staffed by members of the local Audubon Society chapter. Here you can get the latest information on what birds have been spotted at this 223-acre reserve before heading out on its trails. The center also offers occasional birding classes.
