Hi Arie, I don't think your Google map annotations are plotted quite right and I am not savvy enough to modify them. The dredge island that some folk camp on and is used as a landmark for birders is to the RIGHT of the shallows you've circled. The flats suitable for birding are SE of this other island. To put it another way, they just left (west) of the words "Incorporated Village...". The channel you have marked is far too deep to cross. One has to proceed further up the narrow spit of sand from where your brown and blue lines intersect and then cross very carefully on a NE vector from there. On the falling tide the channel can be waist deep or greater with some current so caution is advised. The 4WD road (red) and beach path (brown) are correct.
