Meet at the Museum exhibit portico entrance in Fort Worden State Park for a guided Low Tide Walk on the beach with PTMSC naturalists. Explore tide pools and learn about how marine organisms are adapted for the challenges and daily extremes of living in the intertidal zone.
We recommend weather-appropriate clothing and shoes that can get wet and have good traction for moving around on wet slippery rocks.
The beach is a .4 mile walk from the Museum; closer parking spots are available near the beach.
This event is family-friendly. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
We don’t recommend bringing dogs tidepooling.
Young children not able to walk (esp. babies) should be strapped on and not carried.
Please plan to arrive at the Museum 10-15 minutes early. The Museum is the second building on the left, past the pier. Do not go to the Aquarium.
