CT Trails Day: Shorebirds, Horseshoe Crabs, And Great Views: A Sunset Stroll At Sandy Point
Sunday, June 02, 2024 from 07:00pm to 08:14pm
Connecticut Forest and Park Association
Sandy Point
Beach Street
Join us for a sunset walk at one of the most beautiful spots along the Connecticut shoreline. A long spit of sandy beach extending into New Haven Harbor, Sandy Point is not only a great place to watch migrating shorebirds, but also a popular spot for mating horseshoe crabs in the late spring. On this fun, leisurely one-mile walk we will take in spectacular views of the New Haven skyline, East Rock, Sleeping Giant, and other local landmarks. We’ll learn about some of the local flora and fauna, as well as about the human history of New Haven Harbor and its historic lighthouses. Kathie Hebert from the West Haven Watershed Restoration Committee will tell us about environmental challenges facing Long Island Sound and efforts to enhance climate resilience along the CT shoreline.
