Sturt Pond

Highlight • Lake

This tidal pond is trapped between the land and Hurst Spit, with marshes to the north and south. If you're keen on spotting sea and shoreline birds, this is a fantastic place to do it. All sorts of feathery characters tiptoe around here, using their long beaks to extract tasty morsels from the mud and shallows.

Sturt Pond Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sturt Pond is a haven for swans, ducks, Brent geese, mallard, teal, shelduck & grebes. Two wooden bridges cross the stream which runs from Sturt Pond to the salt marshes. A hidden sanctuary for bird watchers is the Bird Hide that overlooks the Sturt Pond area of the extensive Keyhaven nature reserve.

The bird hide can be found at the end of the concealed metal gated path between the Lighthouse restaurant and the black council sheds.
