•Bird and wildlife walks at the shore start early because that's when the activity is — the 7am start time is the event, not a suggestion.
•Bring binoculars if you have them; loaner pairs at organized walks run out fast.
•Marsh and dune programs mean bug spray in summer and waterproof footwear year-round, whatever the forecast says.
•Parking in Surf City: Metered parking along boulevard. Free parking on side streets (check signs).
