About Pleasure Beach
Have you visited Bridgeport's Pleasure Beach yet? If you are a birder, butterfly lover, or all-around naturalist, we encourage you to stop by soon via the water taxi! Getting to Pleasure Beach is easy with free parking at the water taxi pier lot, 91 Seaview Avenue, Bridgeport. The water taxi will bring visitors to and from Pleasure Beach, and is also free.

While there you can enjoy our WildLife Guards program, which trains, mentors, and employs ten local high schools students and two crew leaders to monitor nesting birds and engage visitors, families, and friends about Pleasure Beach and its wildlife. The WildLife Guards are at Pleasure Beach every Tuesday through Saturday, approximately 9:30 to 3:30, and offer the following walks and outreach events each week.

Coastal Ecology Walk: On this walk along the shore, participants will learn about Long Island Sound, its barrier beaches, and wildlife, from Piping Plovers to Prickly Pear Cactus. Barrier Beaches are a rare habitat is Connecticut. They provide habitat for many state threatened species, protect shoreline communities from coastal storms, and offers a place for visitors to learn about nature. This is a 1 mile walk along the beach. Bring water and sunscreen and appropriate footwear. From Pleasure Beach (Audubon Connecticut) web page
