Description
Take a leisurely stroll along the ocean beach while learning about one of Fire Island’s protected shorebirds—the Piping Plover. Learn about protection measures being taken, why this species matters, see their nesting habitat and perhaps get a peek at some Piping Plovers. They camouflage well so bring binoculars if you have them and prepare for walking on sand.
Parking is available at Smith Point County Park. Fees apply.
