Meet a Ranger at the Beach 4 parking area and discover the amazing diversity of tidepool organisms.

This walk includes a 0.25-mile trail, taking a staircase (~125 steps) down the bluff, navigating down a large rock, and walking across the beach to the tidepools.

Tidepool exploration involves exposure to coastal hazards including cold water, slippery and loose rocks, and marine life. Waterproof shoes with traction recommended.

Duration: ~1 hour
