From mid-July to mid-August hundreds of thousands of shorebirds, primarily sandpipers, gather here to fuel up before their southern migration. Mary's Point is 22km east of Cape Enrage, with nature trails and boardwalks leading through the dikes and marsh. The interpretive center is open from late June to early September, but you can use the 6.5km of trails any time.
