Historic City News readers are encouraged to visit St. Johns County beaches for a rare opportunity to view and snap pictures of nesting colonies of Least Terns on the beaches at Porpoise Point, Matanzas Inlet and Summer Haven Inlet.
Limited beach driving is open at the Porpoise Point location. Please keep in mind that nesting Least Terns are extremely susceptible to disturbance, so please do not enter the posted nesting areas.
Least Tern chicks are sometimes hard to see, so visitors should proceed with caution.
Bird stewards are also available for any questions visitors might have regarding the birds.
Every year St. Johns County beaches host many different species during mating season. In early spring, Least Terns return to Florida from wintering grounds in Latin America for nesting season May through July.
