Sometimes, the smallest things make the biggest impact. A simple seashell, a cotton candy sunrise (or sunset!) and the sound of waves crashing into the shore. With 20+ miles of uncrowded public beach, you can find your magical morning spot just about anywhere!

Hurray, the hummingbirds are here! You have about 4 weeks to enjoy these delightful beauties. Here are three helpful tips from the GTAS to attract hummingbirds to your yard:
🌟Use a four to one ratio when mixing your homemade nectar. One cup sugar to four parts water. Skip the store bought red water.
🌟Keep your feeders clean by changing your nectar every two to three days. More feeders = more hummingbirds!
🌟Plants with long tubular flowers help to attract more hummingbirds in your yard.
Happy Humming-birding! Share your beauties using the hashtag #birdportarthur to get featured in our stories!
Start your day with an unforgettable paddle through the Blue Elbow Swamp. Vibrant colors, serene escapes and a higher chance of spotting native wildlife that come alive with the morning light. Don’t miss out on this special time of year, plan your paddle today!
