There’s something truly magical about exploring the tide pools along the Pacific Northwest coast. These tiny pockets of life—left behind as the ocean recedes—are filled with vibrant surprises.
Starfish cling to the rocks in hues you wouldn’t believe unless you saw them. Anemones sway softly beneath the surface. Tiny crabs scurry under stones. Each tide pool feels like a miniature world, teeming with color and movement.
What’s even more amazing is how these delicate creatures survive in such a harsh environment—constantly battered by waves, exposed to sun and wind, then submerged once again. And yet, they thrive.
We spent hours crouched over the pools, peeking in with wide eyes and bigger wonder. I just couldn’t get enough.
Tidepooling is an unforgettable experience—equal parts science, beauty, and awe. If you ever get the chance, don’t pass it up. It’s a hands-on reminder that even in the most rugged places, life finds a way to flourish.
