Brookings - Harbor
Tide Pooling

Tidepooling north of Brookings - Harbor offers a view into the fascinating world of marine life. Miles of state parks, with easy access from US Route 101, invite you to explore. Look for the colorful sea stars, anemones, and crabs found in the intertidal zone. Time your visit for low tide, watch your step, and keep a careful eye out on the ocean tides and waves. Please remember that these creatures are alive and fragile. Please watch in wonder and leave them to live and thrive in their natural environment.

Search out the tide tables, then travel to any of the many beaches at low tide to discover the world of tidepooling. Harris Beach State Park and Lone Ranch, both located just north of Brookings, are great places to visit and start tide pooling.
