🦭 Wildlife
A 42-acre freshwater lagoon and bird refuge between the zoo and East Beach — herons, egrets, and a flat 0.6-mile loop.
The Andree Clark Bird Refuge is a freshwater wetland and bird sanctuary nestled between the Santa Barbara Zoo and East Beach. A paved 0.6-mile loop circles the lagoon, with viewing platforms for great blue herons, snowy egrets, cormorants, and overwintering migratory ducks. It's the city's quiet contemplative walk.
🌟 Why Locals Love It
A real birding spot inside the city — totally flat, stroller- and wheelchair-friendly, and free.
