Les Marais de Pampin sont très intéressants pour l'ornithologie. On peut y observer toutes sortes d'oiseaux aquatiques, et des Bagages portes-ouvertes y sont effectués tout les automnes.

Ils sonnt composés d'une grande Roselière (76 800 m2 environ!), ainsi que de plusieurs parcelles d'eau saumâtre, entourés de roseaux elles aussi. Le tout à quelques pas de la plage!
