We currently visited Point Loma Tide Pools during King Tide. This is the highest predicted high-tide and lowest low-tide events of the year at a coastal location. We were there for only about an hour, but the kids felt like they were on this incredible treasure hunt. They found tons of beautiful sea anemones, barnacles, and periwinkle snails. We were even fortunate enough to find a brittle star, conch shell, limpit, wavy turban snail, and an amazing abalone shell. Point Loma Tide Pools is a part of Cabrillo National Monument which is in a national park, so it’s unlawful to take anything from the tide pools, but we got some great photos that the kids can continue to look at and enjoy for years.
