Autumn South Coast Stroll: East Beach
Our South Coast Strolls will be a series of walks at a different coastal location in October and November. These walks will identify areas around Westport and the features that entice biodiversity in each habitat. Although we will endeavor to keep to the most accessible trails at each walk, we will also use coastal access trails to reach the shore and see what shorebirds, sea ducks, and other species might be stopping over in our South Coast habitats.
The second in our series of walks exploring the birds of the South Coast takes us along East Beach. As we trek along beside Each Beach Road and Horseneck Road, we’ll keep an eye out for pelagic species, waterfowl, and any curious crossings along the shore. East Beach is an incredible stretch of shoreline, affording wonderful views of Buzzards Bay.
We recommend bringing a comfortable pair of shoes that can handle shoreline walking, as well as optics such as a camera and/or binocular, and a water bottle. All levels of birders are welcome. We will meet at the small parking area where East Beach Road meets Horseneck Road, using that as a commencement point for our walk.
