Exposed mudflats along the shore attract flocks of shorebirds, while seabirds can be seen in the bay’s open waters. Osprey and Peregrine Falcon are often seen perched on structures in or along the edge of the water or soaring overhead.  Terns and gulls roosting on shoreline pilings are used to the boat cruising by closely and only peer at us quizzically. Shorebird flocks often swoop by, offering a unique perspective. In addition to birds, expect to see harbor seals, sea lions, and harbor porpoises. 

The historic Madaket is the oldest active vessel in California and boasts the smallest licensed bar in the state. Bring your binoculars and camera, and dress in layers in case of a light breeze or cooler temperatures.  This trip sells out quickly each year, so scoop up your tickets before all spaces are taken!
