Time: 10:00am
to 12:00pm
Leader(s): Faylla

Description: Take a guided walk to Shark Inlet, located at the southernmost edge of
the Morro Bay Estuary in Los Osos—a secluded and rarely visited spot.
The journey begins at the Coastal Access Butterfly Grove, where you’ll
pass through stands of stately eucalyptus trees and learn about the
area's rich natural and cultural history. From there, enjoy sweeping
views of protected coastal land teeming with dune and shoreline plant
life. You’ll encounter towering sand dunes up close and may even spot
sharks gliding through the warm, shallow waters. Along the way, look for
rare native plants, an ancient shell midden, and local bird species
flitting through the coastal scrub.
This field trip is not ADA accessible, bathrooms are not
available, and the trip is open to all levels of
experience.
Registration: Registration will open on the morning of September 9, 2025 with
