Lamar Burton Wetlands Sanctuary

A wetland-focused stop on the Lamar side that can complement the causeway and Holiday Beach area nicely.

Lamar Burton Wetlands Sanctuary gives birders another chance to work shallow wetland habitat on the Lamar Peninsula. Depending on rainfall and water levels, it can attract a good mix of waders, shorebirds, and marsh-loving species while adding geographic variety to a peninsula route. It is especially useful as a quieter alternative when more famous stops are busy.
