Just inland from the beach, see the city's natural side. Once degraded, the Bolsa Chica Wetlands are filled with life again. Reopened trails cross the Inner Bolsa Bay to the bluffs and meander the coastal dune system. Nearly 600 acres of precious wetlands—home to juvenile fish and flocks of shorebirds, seabirds, and migratory birds—have been restored. As many as 200 bird species are spied in Bolsa Chica each year. The best place to observe wildlife is from the trail just off Pacific Coast Highway. The parking lot for the trail is across from the main entrance to Bolsa Chica State Beach . Several groups offer tours that begin at the lot.
