At minus tides, explore pools packed with giant green anemones, purple sea stars, urchins, hermit crabs, nudibranchs, chitons, mussels, barnacles, harbor seals lounging nearby, and even monkeyface eels. Excellent for families with docents/rangers often on-site for guidance, easy trails through cypress groves, and picnic spots; one of the Bay Area's top educational spots. Free entry - best in low tides; careful stepping to avoid crushing creatures.
