When is the best time to explore the tidepools?

In general, you can explore the tidepools for at least an hour before and an hour after the low tide.

That interval varies depending on how low the tide is – on a 0’0” or negative low tide you may be able to explore for two or more hours of either side of the low tide.  Other factors, such an offshore storm creating high waves might cut your exploration time shorter.

For safety, remember to never turn your back on the ocean when you are out on the rocks – a big wave can come along any time!
