Seals & Winter Birds on Sandy Hook Van Trip

Description

Ages: 12 through Adult | All children must be accompanied by an adult that is also registered for the program. 

Instructor: Laura Bush, Principal Park Naturalist 

Join us for a day on Sandy Hook! We’ll meet a naturalist from the American Littoral Society for a light walk on a paved pathway to a seal-viewing area, then visit two birding hotspots—bayside and oceanside—to look for wintering waterfowl. While sightings aren’t guaranteed, the trip is timed for the best chance to see wildlife. Afterward, we’ll stop for lunch at Off the Hook (not included in the price of the trip), then explore the historic Twin Lights lighthouse, with the option to climb one of its towers. We’ll finish with a stop at Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook for stunning views of Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay, and the New York skyline and 9/11 memorial. Bring water, dress in layers, and bring binoculars (some available to borrow).
