Before you head out to the wonderful world of tidepools, please watch this video. It will help you to understand how tough and fragile, tidepool creatures are.

If you wish to explore tidepools on your own, the best viewing times will depend on the tides. This determination is generally based on the tides being near two feet or lower. Low tide times vary depending on the position of the sun and moon.
You can find the current tide predictions on the link below, which will take you to “tides and currents” at NOAA.
