Experience December’s king tide events—at the lowest tide! Not only do naturally occurring king tides bring extreme high-water levels, we also get very low tides.

About 7 hours after the peak high tide, beach goers can get a closer look at critters in this amazing part of our coast that is typically hidden underwater. Experience the wonders of tidepools and learn how to become a Nature Collective Tidepool Ambassador.
