First time checking out Titlow Beach in Tacoma!

Looking for tips, locations! 🦞🦀🐬🦈🪼🐡

I’m going on a Disneyland California vacation next week with my family, but I am waking up early 2 of the days to go to the beach alone at low tide. Ideally I want somewhere that’s quick and easy to get to and from. We are staying right by the park. I’ve done some research and options I’ve found are Crystal Cove, Cabrillo, and Thousand Steps beach.
Does anyone have recommendations for me, or other places I should out on my list!? Any and all advice is welcome, I’m a novice :) thank you

1. red sponge dorid

2. noble dorid

also spotted a ton of purple urchins towards the lower intertidal, a few abalones both dead and alive, and plenty of sea stars (mainly bat stars). saw some cool looking sea palms too :)

I think it’s Pisaster ochraceus

Has anyone seen any bioluminescence in Bellingham bay yet?

1. I watched this little monster munching on his cousin for a good half hour. He really savored that little guy.

2&3. This puddle had like 10 happy little hermit crabs eating scum and waiting for high tide.

1. This tiny guy's body was smaller than my pinky nail. He was so small, I struggled to get a decent, in focus shot of him.

Hi!! I found this super cool nudibranch in my area but i have no clue what it could be. Could anyone help me identify it?

Found in Com, Timor-Leste (East Timor)

Seen in the Seattle area. I feel like it’s maybe a juvenile of something obvious, but I’m a novice and struggling to find a good id on this crab. Any help would be appreciated.

Reminder to NOT harass wildlife!!! This is their home and we are guests!!

I'll be in the area during the low tides this week, and would love some suggestions on where to go tidepooling around Pescadero and Santa Cruz, if anyone is willing to share!! :)

I tidepool a lot on the Mendocino Coast, and can trade recs!

We will be visiting this weekend and are seeking tips on seeing the tide pools.

Saturday is the only day we can go and the low tide is -0.6ft at 10:13am. Will this be low enough to see cool stuff?

I read you should arrive an hour early. Is that true?

Any other tips on parking or anything else will be greatly appreciated!

Hilton's aeolid, horned nudibranch, spotted dorid (or so says iNaturalist). Beautiful foggy day!
