Bolsa Chica
Ecological Reserve
Bird watchers and nature lovers must stop in at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. It's just north of Huntington Beach, across the street from Bolsa Chica State Beach. There's a small parking lot off of Pacific Coast Highway that is free, but for visitors of the reserve only.
A footbridge takes you across the water inlet, and trails circle the wetlands. All sorts of birds love this place, and each season brings a different assortment.
There's an Interpretive Center at 3842 Warner Ave. to the north. The Bolsa Chica Land Trust (714-860-1001) and the Amigos de Bolsa Chica (714-840-1575) both offer free monthly tours with trained guides who tell you all about the history, the birds and the ecology of the area.
