Looking for a unique way to view our feathered friends?! Then you’ll want to check out Birding by Boat at Fort Matanzas on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.
Fort Matanzas is a stop on the Great Florida Birding Trail. As such, it protects a number of ecosystems including beaches, dunes, coastal hammock, and marsh.
