40 Arpent Wetlands Observatory

Score4.4

A raised boardwalk through coastal marsh offering close views of cypress, spartina grass, tidal channels and migratory waterbirds. Best for sunrise/sunset reflections, dramatic skies and intimate wildlife shots. Easy access via parking at the observatory, free entry; boardwalk is wheelchair-friendly but expect mosquitoes in warm months. Visit at golden hour and during spring/fall migrations; check tide charts for exposed mudflats and wind for rippled reflections.
