Join us for and early spring a guided nature walk of San Elijo Lagoon. You'll learn about the native plants and ecology that make this such a special place. The walk starts on the Solana Beach side of the lagoon where we will break into small groups for private docent-led tours.

San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve is located in north San Diego County, between Encinitas and Solana Beach, extending inland to Rancho Santa Fe.

Our docent led walk will explore part of the 979-acre reserve, home to hundreds of species of unique plants and animals.

San Elijo Lagoon is one of the largest coastal wetlands in San Diego. Trails wind through six plant communities, home to:

400 species of plants
300 species of birds (of which 65 have been documented to nest in the reserve)
23 species of fish
20 species of reptiles and amphibians
26 species of mammals

The tour starts west of I-5 at the Rios Trail (at the north end of Rios Avenue in Solana Beach). Driving directions are emailed in registration email confirmation message.
