The Rocky Intertidal Zone on the California Coast is one of the most magical, diverse habitats for intertidal marine life in the world. From the border of Oregon all the way down through Baja you can find hundreds of species and subspecies in the Rocky and Sandy Intertidal zones.
There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of locations along the coastline of California to go tide pooling, many with a common species theme, some with flora and fauna endemic to that location. Whether you are a kid going out on a class field trip or just a kid at heart, still thrilled by discovering something new, tide pooling can be for everyone.
The beautiful thing about tide pooling is it requires very little. Other than knowing when to go – this makes a big difference, carry a tide book in your car – all you need now is a place to go.
Fort Ross State Historic Park is known for its cultural history, but it also has a lush and diverse natural history. The park contains about 3,400 acres of wildlands from coastal hills covered in Redwood and California Oak to grass lands, all the way down to the marine terrace.
On any given low tide adventure, here are some of the jewels you can find:
Anemone, Mussels, Gooseneck Barnacle, Sea Urchin, Sea Star, Hermit Crabs, Shore Crab, Chiton, Bat Star, Limpets, Black Turbin Snail, Top Snail, and many Seaweeds, an so many more. Show us what you find!
