Tide Pooling at Moss Beach

Lena asked us to take her tide pooling for her 10th birthday celebration. 

I remembered Moss Beach was a fantastic place to visit and discover a variety of plants and creatures.

We checked to see when would be the best low tide and struck out at

5am on Friday, May 11.

Hermit crabs were abundant and one of Lena's favorites!

Black and brown Turban Snails

California Mussel Bed

Green Anemone

Ochre Star

Look at all the Plants and Animals!

You have to look long and hard in the pools to see some of the creatures.
