Tide Pooling
Tide pooling is one of the most fascinating family fun vacation activities on the coast. Miles and miles of undeveloped beaches with easy access invite you to explore. Look for rocky beaches (not jetties), then search the zone where the ocean meets land and discover the colorful sea stars and anemones. Sometimes even crabs or young lobsters found in the tidal pools 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.
