    Least Tern Natural Preserve is a 13-acre patch of shoreline and beach within Huntington State Beach. This area is a documented nesting area for endangered California least terns. The area is protected by a 15-foot buffer zone on all sides. Visitors are not allowed inside of the preserve but can observe the birds from outside of the blocked area. This area was the first fully protected area for the birds, established in 1973.
