Blackie Spit, Crescent Beach - Surrey
Notes from Mom
Activity:
If you're a fan of bird watching, this place is for you. Blackie
Spit is one of the hottest spots in Canada to go bird watching. Over
200 species of birds have been recorded there. The sandy spit and
tidal marsh make a perfect resting spot for migratory birds going up and
down the coast of North and South America. Great Blue Herons, American
Widgeons, Northern Pintails, and even Bald Eagles make pit-stops at Blackie
Spit. Keep an eye on the sand bars too. You might see a Harbour Seal
and her pups lounging on the sand. To be honest with you, we've never
been to Blackie Spit. I didn't realize it was within walking distance
of Crescent Beach. I definitely plan
on checking it out the next time we go to White
Rock.
