Tide Pools (Gold Beach)

One activity high on our list of "must-do's" while in Gold Beach was Tidepooling along the ocean beaches at low tide, and there is no better place to do this than the Oregon Coast. After studying the tide tables for the low tides, we selected the best day of the week and set out to explore. This, to me, is much better than any zoo or aquarium. Nothing can surpass the pleasure of viewing sea life in their natural habitat. I find the variety of sea creatures, with their colors, shapes, and sizes endlessly fascinating. Here are some pictures of what we discovered on our tide pool escapade.
