jug bay wetlands sanctuary

Jug Bay is a great place to get close to nature. The boardwalk makes it easy to get around and you can spend time in several different habitats. There are always birds to see and it's easy to take some nice pictures. The staff there are wonderful as well and they offer great workshops for photographers. They have a sunrise/sunset workshop that let's you get the shot you've always dreamed of and couldn't do otherwise. It's a great place at any time of year.

This is a beautiful and serene nature preserve that is a birder's paradise. But not just for them - go for a lovely nature walk and enjoy the peace, quiet and calming waters.

The trek to the new boardwalk, I was told, is almost a mile to and from, but it felt longer. The stairs leading down to it are very steep. But, it was well worth the trek! Just wanted to mention this for someone who may have a difficult time climbing stairs or taking long walks. The new450-foot boardwalk is spectacular! It is one of only 28 found at estuarine research reserves in the country. I was there for the dedication of the boardwalk today and very proud to be a part of it! It's definitely worth a visit to go explore and get back to nature!

Great opportunity for photos of wetland life. It was a good day for Osprey and Wood Ducks and Bald Eagles.
