It's not stunning skyline views you'll find here at Bartiquitos Lagoon, but great views of a different sort: outstanding views of the endangered birds that occupy these tranquil lagoons situated near the hustle and bustle of San Diego. Located in nearby Carlsbad and identified as one of the few remaining tidal wetlands in southern California, these lagoons are perfect for hiking and provide outstanding opportunities for bird watching. Interpretive signs along the trails assist with identifying these rare birds. Begin your hike at the lagoon's Nature Center.
