A boardwalk takes you across Inner Bolsa Bay to the overlooks and scenic trails of Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. Although the shoreline is heavily sculpted by humans, this is now a marine conservation area.

Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, spanning around 1,300 acres of coastal estuary, showcases diverse habitats such as open water, mudflats, salt marsh, coastal dunes, and seabird nesting islands. Boasting over 200 avian species, it's a haven for birders and photographers. Embark on an enjoyable bike ride, encountering a plethora of wildlife along the way.
