Consider taking a pencil and paper, binoculars and a waterproof camera. Safety Don't go alone. Tide pool areas can be dangerous. Never turn you back on the ocean and keep one eye on the waves. They can be unpredictable.
Tide pools are wet and slippery.
Walk carefully and move slowly. Children should be especially careful. Try to have one adult present for each child. Tides go down and come back up. Don't get caught by a high tide.
