About the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge
The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a park located at 1080 Gunpowder Point Drive in Chula Vista, California. This refuge consists of two distinct areas where visitors can enjoy the beauty of San Diego Bay's wildlife, connected by the Bayshore Bikeway. Accessing the refuge is easy, whether you choose to ride your bike, take the bus, or drive. Limited access is available at the Sweetwater Marsh Unit, where visitors can catch a free shuttle from the Living Coast Discovery Center to access refuge trails.
The Refuge protects a diverse range of endangered, threatened, migratory, and native species and their habitats within a highly urbanized coastal environment. Monthly tours are available to the public, as well as winter tours led by the San Diego Audubon Society. Habitat management techniques are used to maintain, recover, or enhance plant and wildlife values within the Refuge.
Established to protect endangered and threatened species, the Refuge encompasses approximately 2,620 acres of land and water in and around San Diego Bay. Sweetwater Marsh provides habitat for four endangered or threatened species, and over 200 species of birds have been seen here. The Refuge is divided into the Sweetwater Marsh Unit and the South San Diego Bay Unit, with a focus on the recovery of various endangered and threatened species.
The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge works with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the benefit of the American people.

Reviews of San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge
"Beautiful, serene, for a while you're removed from the noise pollution. There are walking paths inside and outside the fenced border of the Refuge. Obviously no pets within the Refuge, on the outside please do everyone a favor, leash your pet. Some lady was walking her dog on a path near the road, the dog was at least ten feet ahead of her, it wandered onto the road."
"This wildlife refuge will always have a special place in my heart. It is one of the first places I took Bahbah when he was old enough to step outside. This park is the perfect place to take your adventurous dog. With many hiking trails and nature at every turn, I recommend you take the day and explore this hidden gem with mans best friend!"
"Educators are knowledgeable, very friendly, and answered every question I and other visitors had. All areas are very clean, and hand washing stations are easily accessible. Will be returning most definitely."
"A pleasant escape into sea and wild life. My son went from only wanting to look and not touch, to not wanting to leave the touching pools. Pleasant staff who were patient with questions from an Inquisitive boy."
"For a small place they have incredibly awesome variety of fish. So impressive...especially after I got back to my hotel and Googled the ones I liked the most (super hard to care for). If you go when they are not doing "talks" you can walk thru and appreciate it in 30 min. If you have little ones...maybe an hr. Shuttle drivers were so pleasant and personable. They really set you up to enjoy however long you spend there and end your time with true appreciation."
