Boulevard Park

Photography

Best light

Evening light

Recommended focal length

200–500mm

• Facing west over the bay at sunset gives strong silhouettes of herons and eagles.
• The boardwalk puts you over the water at heron eye level on low tides.
• Expect people in the frame; early mornings are quieter.

Access

Parking

City parking lot off South State Street; it fills quickly on sunny weekends.

Trails

Paved paths and a flat overwater boardwalk; fully accessible.

Restrictions

• Busy on weekends; arrive early for undisturbed wildlife.

Before you go

• Lens: 200–500mm. Pack spare batteries; cold drains them fast.
• Review the access restrictions above and any posted closures.
• Check the weather and, on the shoreline, the tide forecast.
• Keep a respectful distance. If an animal changes its behavior, you're too close.
