"Tidal channel"
We came on a homeschool field trip to this tidal basin. A docent led us on a long walk across a long bridge. I thought we'd never make it across because my little baby kept crying every time the stroller stopped. But my big kids learned a lot about the migrating shore birds, the pickle weed that grows in the shallows and how the tidal channel was rebuilt so that this basin's water levels can rise and fall with the tides. My kids enjoyed being on the long bridge and seeing the many birds in the water below.

"Fun with the Family"
It is both relaxing and educational to walk through this 300-acre
reserve, one of the largest salt marsh preserves in Southern California. The reserve supports such rare migratory waterfowl as avocets, egrets, plovers, and terns. A 1.5-mile walkway with explanatory signs leads the way throughout the ecosystem. Free guided public tours are given the first Saturday of each month.
