It is a wonderful exhibit and the visitor walkway is much longer than it appears in this photo. An excerpt from my review:
Coastal Birds/Sandy Shore Aviary – this is a beautiful bird/stingray/small fish exhibit with a small wading pool, a sandy beach, and a deeper pool that has wave motions in it. Across from this walk-through, open-air habitat is a huge tank with leopard sharks and bat rays that can be touched by visitors. Both areas have zero barriers other than low walls, and the sea air wafts in via the top portion of the aviary. Species include: black-necked stilt, long-billed curlew, snowy plover, ruddy turnstone and red-necked phalarope.
