About Los Cerritos Wetlands
Los Cerritos Wetlands is one of the last coastal salt marshes in the region, on the eastern edge of Long Beach. The restored wetland areas offer free birdwatching, walking and a rare glimpse of natural Southern California coast, with nearby parks like Los Cerritos Park adding green space.
Quiet and ecologically rich, it's a free nature escape in a heavily urban corner of the county.
