Social Narrative: Visiting the Tijuana Estuary
This social narrative helps visitors understand what to expect during a visit to the Tijuana Estuary. It may be especially helpful for autistic visitors, visitors with anxiety, families with young children, and anyone who prefers to prepare in advance.
Additionally, there are sensory kits available at the Visitor Center front desk to support the experience of neurodivergent visitors.
For visitors sensitive to noise, please be aware, weekends are quieter than weekdays due to a nearby naval airfield. During the week, a variety of aircraft including helicopters can be heard, sometimes at close range. There are quieter areas by the Visitor Center as well as ear covers in the sensory kits.
Wayfinding with Navilens
The Tijuana Estuary features a NaviLens system designed to improve access for blind and low-vision visitors while enhancing the experience for all visitors. Approximately twenty-five NaviLens codes are located near the Visitor Center and along the North McCoy Trail.
