“Wildlife viewing. Discover what’s in your backyard” - Gould League Ricketts Point Sanctuary

Learn about what we can find in the Bay, how to access it year-round and the healing benefits of the beach that allows one to recharge their batteries. Ricketts Point is a great place to take people you care for so they too can feel the many healing and nurturing benefits of mother nature.
