Birding by Kayak

  • Island Beach state Park, Lot A21 Seaside Park, NJ, 08752 United States (map)

Flying, nesting, feeding – there's nothing quite like observing birds from a kayak. Don't miss this unique birding adventure in the Sedge Islands Marine Conservation Zone!

Join expert park naturalists and avid birders on a peaceful paddle through the Sedge Islands Marine Conservation Zone. Observe Osprey families on their nests, a peregrine falcon tower, tons of shorebirds and a sandbar teeming with hungry birds. Along the way, you'll also learn more about the area, bird migration, bird identification and more!

Our naturalists love the outdoors and can't wait to share their passion with you. Come paddle with us and discover your inner birder.

Through Interpretation, understanding; Through understanding, appreciation; Through appreciation, protection.
