If you are anywhere above the high tide line then you are too close. Beach nesting bird nests and eggs blend into the sand and shells and can be very hard to see and very easy to step on. Some birds will call loudly and/or divebomb you when you get too close to their nest/young, but not always. Please always stay below the high tide line during the breeding season (April – August).
