The Western Snowy Plover is a small shorebird native to the western coastal areas of the United States. Volunteering with organizations like California State Parks can involve monitoring populations, surveying nesting areas, and educating people about these birds. These birds may be the smallest, cutest birds on our beaches! #ShareTheShore

The California Least Tern is a charming and distinctive seabird found along the Pacific Coast of North America. These tiny birds have big personalities, known for their sassy and acrobatic flight styles. They are endangered, and need our help to keep them coming to our beaches!

Malibu Lagoon: a coastal estuary teeming with biodiversity. A haven for birds, fish, and wildlife. Perfect for birdwatching with walking trails, boardwalks, and stunning views. Surfrider Beach offers excellent surfing, while the nearby Malibu Pier is fun to explore, too! I go for the Brown Pelicans, and stay for the many other beautiful birds!

A grey day at the beach turned into an amazing Grey Whale sighting! Resting and reading a book, then this majestic creature caught my eye. Enjoy some photos of this special Grey Whale!
