LAGOON INLET VIEWS

San Elijo Lagoon's inlet is inaccessible (no trails), but is viewed from the Pole Road Trail. The beach area is not within San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, but is a place to view the inlet's opening. The inlet is a vital corridor providing tidal circulation for the lagoon, and feeding, nesting, and nursery grounds for many species of fishes and birds. It is maintained on an annual basis due to tidal restrictions imposed by existing infrastructure (such as roads).
