Sandbridge... the Perfect Golf
Destination!
Fall is a great time
to visit the beach!
The best “beach months” are September
and October. The weather is perfect, the
water is still warm, the crowds are
gone, and festivals are in full swing.
Best of all, vacationers can take
advantage of the lower rental rates!
Siebert Realty has plenty of beach home
and condo rentals and many accept last
minute “short stays” (less than a week).

Sandbridge offers unspoiled beauty along its shores.
Situated
along the coastline at the southend of
Sandbridge, the Back Bay National
Wildlife Refuge contains about 7,700
acres of beach, dunes, woodland and
marsh. An additional 4,600 acres of the
bay’s shallow waters surrounding the
refuge’s marshy islands have been
designated by Presidential Proclamation
for the protection of migrating birds.A
visit to the refuge is a “must do” on
your vacation! Visitors to the refuge
have a variety of opportunities to
observe wildlife in its natural habitat
along various trails and dike roads.
Among the possible sightings in the
refuge are deer, wild horses, rabbits,
raccoons, opossums, minks, foxes, hawks,
osprey, owls, herons, swans, bald
eagles, loggerhead turtles and, in the
surf… pilot whales and dolphins.
Whistling swans, Snow and Canada geese
and several species of ducks frequent
the refuge from fall through early
spring. Peak waterfowl populations can
number in the tens of thousands, with
numbers in the range of 100,000
waterfowl using the refuge in a given
year. The mallard, widgeon, gadwall, and
black duck are the most numerous in
population.
For more information about this unspoiled wilderness, contact the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge (757) 721-2412. http://www.baylink.org/bbnwr
