Tidepooling with Birch Aquarium
The optimal season for tidepooling is November to March, when “minus tides” reveal wider beaches and tidepools teem with life. During this time you can take a tour with Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where trained naturalists from will show you how to tread lightly to discover the wonderful world of life right under your feet. For ages two and up. Under 15 must be accompanied by a paid adult.
