Hwy 188 Bridge
A convenient bridge-side stop with broad water views and easy access to the Port Bay side of the loop.
The Hwy 188 Bridge site is a practical stop for birders who want quick access to open water and shoreline habitat without committing to a long walk. It can be productive for scanning waders, pelicans, gulls, and wintering waterfowl, and it also works well for tours that mix birding with kayak-launch infrastructure. The openness of the setting makes it especially pleasant in good light and moderate wind.
