Shorebird Walk at Winthrop Shores Reservation

Join us for a leisurely 90-minute walk around Winthrop Beach in Winthrop. This beach is often an excellent place to find shorebirds as well as nesting terns. We'll look for different species, but also spend a little time observing behaviour. Winthrop Beach is often a great spot for Piping Plover, American Oyster Catcher, and much more.

Expect mostly hard-packed sand and rocky/gravely areas. Closed-toe shoes are recommended as there is often broken glass.

Take the T!Take the MBTA Blue Line subway outbound from downtown Boston to Orient Heights.

From Orient Heights, take either the MBTA Route 712 Bus to Shirley St. at Levy Bramsom Way or the MBTA Route 713 to Veterans Road at Washington Shore Ave.

Walk a short distance east to Winthrop Shore Drive

Free. Spaces limited! Loaner binoculars available. A beach accessible wheelchair is available through Mass Wildlife. []
