Wonderful place to visit! Kind of small, but still lots of birds, as well as a little building with aquariums, environmental lessons, gift shop, people are wonderful and willing to explain the birds they obviously love. And on the beach they have a nice observation tower that is lovely to sit on and enjoy an expansive view.

This was #1 on our to-do list this past vacation.The facility is clean, and the birds are well cared for. We heard stories later in the trip from boaters who had rescued injured birds and brought them here! It’s a phenomenal place doing good work. I was amazed by how close we were to some of the birds. They run entirely on donations, and are often understaffed (to the gripers complaining on here about not having enough staff around to guide them/ask questions). We went in search of someone to ask our one question for the trip - and easily found someone knowledgeable. Please go, and please donate to help them. They even have an Amazon wishlist.

Great small sanctuary. This is a must do. Remember to leave a generous donation. There are 6 types of owls, a bald eagle, brown and white pelicans, turkey vultures, and more. The staff work really hard to keep the place clean.

Seaside Bird Sanctuary was a lot of fun. You walk around at your own pace, and It's free. It's a cute little area not too big. You could do it all in 30-40 minutes. They have all kinds of birds. From Eagles, Pelicans to Hawks. These bird can't be let out in the wild, because some were hit by cars and can't fly. Some were shot and their wings were amputated. Fun outing for the whole family. Be sure to give a small donation on the way out.
