Upper Newport Bay, colliquially known as the Back Bay, is an estuary - a place where fresh and salt water meet and mix. It is one of only a few remaining estuaries in Southern California and is the home of nearly 200 species of birds, including several endangered species, as well as numerous species of mammals, fish, other critters and native plants. Many people come here to hike, cycle, canoe, kayak, fish or simply enjoy nature.
