  1. First, check the Tide Tables and here's some extra tips for helping you decide when to go:
    • Tides listed in minus feet are the lowest.
    • Generally, early Summer mornings and later Winter afternoons are the year's lowest tides.
    • When looking at Summer tides, remember to adjust for Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) by adding 1 hour to the times listed.

  2. Pick your tide pool and get a map:
    1. Davenport Landing
    2. Natural Bridges
    3. Point Pinos

  3. What to bring with you.
