About this trip

Tide pools are best at the lowest tides, so Priya builds each departure around the tide table. You see sea stars, anemones and hermit crabs at Haystack Rock, learn what lives where and why you step on bare rock only, then warm up with chowder in Cannon Beach.

Good trip but the weather did not help and the viewpoints were crowded.
