I was very happy with this route , but wanted to take my remaining time searching for a marsh or beach with water-loving birds . The bicycle path supposedly leads to a beach named Playa Linda Lovely Beach but the route turned out to be too long for me to walk to , round-trip , in the tropical heat , so I returned to my parked car and attempted to find someplace marshy by driving . Eventually , I ended up at a river’s mouth called

When we get these very big tides we don’t go to the coast until the ocean starts to recede and then the shorebirds are more relaxed . As the big tides push up the shorebirds have to keep moving and they are unsettled , but once the tide turns they are more relaxed .
