Shipwrecks, reef and colorful fish set the sub-surface scene off of Costa Maya, but venture on to dry land long enough to see nearby archaeological sites and crocodiles.
Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge is located in southern coastal California and is 30 miles south of Los Angeles. It encompasses 911 acres of remnant saltwater marsh in the Anaheim Bay estuary and serves as a significant stopover and wintering area along the Pacific Flyway for shorebirds. As urban sprawl and population growth result in the loss and degradation of wildlife habitats, the refuge becomes an ever more vital resource to dwindling populations of native plants and animals. The refuge provides essential habitat for three endangered species, including the light-footed clapper rail, the California least tern, and the Belding's savanna sparrow.This refuge is on an active military base. Currently, access to the refuge is limited. Please call the Seal Beach Visitor Center for information on current activities.
