Visit to the natural center of the San Elijo lagoon.

The San Elicho Lagoon Nature Center in Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a very special place.

At the Nature Center, visitors can learn all about the nearby wetlands and their wildlife. From the outside, the organic curved lines of the building seem to flow seamlessly into the natural environment around it.

At every opportunity I stick my nose into any center of nature. When I walked around the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and saw this beautiful structure, I was itching to walk around it and explore it from the inside.

The award-winning 5,600 square foot building built in 2009 was designed by Zagrodnic + Thomas Architects. It is filled with light, spacious and visually stimulating.

The design is environmentally friendly. The building is built from recycled materials and features irrigated rooftop plants, solar panels and recycled water.

A large observation deck allows visitors to admire the lagoon. Excited children explored the easy paths winding around the main entrance.
