How can I make the most of my family’s/group’s visit?

Make sure everyone dresses in layers and has shoes that have good gripping soles and can get wet. A few kids will probably slip and get wet, so make sure there are dry clothes, socks and shoes for them to change into for the ride home.

Good Tidepooler Rules:

  • No collecting shells, rocks, or animals.
  • No feeding tidepool animals.
  • No picking animals up: observe them where they are.
  • No turning over rocks.
  • Step gently, taking care not to walk through the pools.
  • Do not disturb harbor seals.  Stay a safe distance away from them.  If orange cones are present on the beach or reef, stay on the side of the cones farthest from the seals.

For Your Safety:

  • No running on the beach or reef.
  • No climbing on the fragile cliffs.  No digging at the cliffs.
  • Landslides are common; stay away from the bottom of the cliffs.
  • Always watch the ocean and be aware of the rising tide.
  • Stay with your group or Volunteer Naturalist.
  • The creek is polluted.  Please cross the creek, but do not play in it.
