  I have returned several times and love every visit. Low tide allows you to walk in amazing areas, the fiddler crabs under the boardwalks are a mini horror movie, I've watched baby osprey, higher tides are an adventure if you take your shoes off, and you can walk in forest, sandy trail, ocean side or marsh. I was surprised that my NY Audubon membership is not recognized, however.

  We spent an entire day at the Wellfleet Audubon Reserve. From birding to fantastic salt marsh views, my husband and I could not get enough. Numerous summer activities available for the children. We found the guides to be patient and extremely knowledgeable. Will return.

  Kids enjoyed the indoor viewing seats, could see chipmunks, red squirrels and lots of birds eating at the feeders.

  Great views of the salt marsh and surrounding wooded areas and a fantastic place for birdwatching and nature hiking.

  This year, I participated in a three-day Field Trip led by naturalists associated with the Massachusetts Audubon Society. The subject was Wild Words in which words were tied to place. It included walks on beaches, in forests, and excursions on the water. The naturalists leading us were knowledgeable, friendly, willing to answer any questions we had. They made this a memorable experience by encouraging us to share our words with the group, people I enjoyed spending these few days with. In addition, one can also visit the Sanctuary, get lots of good instructions, walk the trails and be awed by the beauty of this place.

  Multiple trails of all types. Nice for the kids. Walk there frequently. It's on the bay so there is plenty of nature to view. The birds during migration are exceptional.

  The Sanctuary is a bit hard to find for first time visitors. We ended up taking a few wrong turns before finally finding the very subtle Audubon signage on Route 6 in South Wellfleet. Worth the trouble and once on the property the trails are well marked and very well kept. The Nature Center itself is small but has interesting exhibits including a fish tank holding among other things a small blue lobster. Enjoyed an afternoon stroll around Goose Pond and out to the boardwalk for a look at the beach on the Bay. If you are looking for more solitude, the Bayview Trail is less traveled.

  It's ironic that the best birding on the Cape is not here, but on the many marshes all around. That said, for great family programs, early morning walks with experienced naturalists and grand vistas, this lovely spot can't be beat. If you're after blue herons and other magnificent birds, I don't find them here but rather on the marshlands near Tim's Bridge just outside of town or in the small harbor estuaries.

  Nestled in 1,100 protected acres of marshland, this place is outstanding for learning about the local habitat, bird species, turtles, and more. Great visitor center with lots to interest kids, plus lots of walking trails through the marsh and forest. We were lucky enough to participate in rescuing diamondback terrapin hatchlings on site - one of the greatest days I've spent on the Cape.
