Bingham Island Audubon Preserve

About

A wildlife preserve along the Intracoastal Waterway, Bingham Island offers a glimpse of Florida's coastal birds from the water or nearby viewing spots on land. The island itself is protected nesting habitat for wading birds and shorebirds, though access to the actual preserve is restricted. Kids can spot herons, egrets, and other waterbirds from boats passing by or from the Southern Boulevard pulloff area. The preserve works best for families interested in wildlife observation and teaching kids about bird conservation, though you'll need binoculars for the best viewing experience.

National Audubon Society protects birds and their habitats throughout the Americas using science, advocacy, education, and on the ground conservation. Audubon's state programs, nature centers, chapters, and partners reach millions of people each year t

  Bingham Island Audubon Preserve is a great way to get kids (and grown-ups!) outside learning about Florida's birds and coastal habitats through hands-on conservation work. You'll spend Sunday afternoons at the preserve doing real stewardship activities—things like helping monitor water birds, removing debris that could harm them, and exploring the natural spaces where terns, plovers, and other coastal birds live and nest. It's perfect for families who want their kids to understand how nature actually works and why protecting these birds matters. A membership is $7 per month, which gives you access to the program. What really sets this apart is that you're not just learning about birds in a classroom—you're actually helping protect them as part of Audubon's nationwide conservation effort.
