Stop into the interpretive center for a visit if it’s open. The people who work here are very friendly and love sharing their love of Bolsa Chica.

The bathroom has porta-potties. There are also porta-potties about half-way into the hike.

The park is open from 6am to 8pm. I recommend getting there as close to 6am as you can to secure a spot and see the most wildlife.
