There are two separate tide pool areas at Treasure and Goff Island ( http://californiatidepools.com/aliso-beach-tidepools/ ). The treasure island tide pools have a large flat bench area perfect for visitors to see lots of marine life. This area is easy to walk around and see the different zones. There are a few rather large pools that are loaded with sea urchins and have schools of small juvenile fish. The tide pools at Goff Island, just to the north are a bit more rugged and not as flat. This area also have several deep pools that also have huge numbers of sea urchins. There are large surge channels that have lots of mussels and barnacles clinging to the walls. Be sure to explore the large areas of sea shells that collect at the end of the surge channels. This location was also used in the series "Life in a Tide Pool" (http://www.lifeinatidepool.com/) that featured sea urchins.
