Robert K. Rees Memorial Park consists of 45 acres located on the Gulf of Mexico. There is a small beach area and a 650-foot boardwalk that winds through mangroves and wetlands. 252 species of birds have been reported to eBird from this compact park. We may see a variety of birds, including shorebirds, herons, egrets, pelicans, and Ospreys. During the wintering months, ducks, loons, and grebes may be found. Total walking distance will be about 1 mile. Restrooms and drinking water are available.
