Located just off Pacific Coast Highway, at the South end of Cardiff State Beach, these pools are easily accessible for a quick tide-pool trip or great for a long beach day, soaking up the sun and catching some surf. Seaside Beach in Cardiff-by-the-Sea: With a large parking lot and gorgeous tall cliffs, Seaside Beach is home to my favorite tide-pools in San Diego County.If you're looking for a great way to spend a few hours at low-tide, here are a few of my favorite San Diego tide-pools:
The captivating green seaweed illuminates the water while the dark purple sea-cucumbers slink across the sand, orange starfish jumble the rocks, and fluorescent green sea anemones reach for the sun along the water’s edge. It’s a gift to capture the overwhelming beauty of a pristine beach, rocky reef, and beautiful sunset. A personal favorite San Diego pastime is walking the beach and tide-pools during a low-tide sunset. The beauty that lies within tide-pools is unlike any other and each shallow pool creates a new environment for its living creatures and a window into their world for curious San Diego residents like me.Ī common way to enjoy nature and the beauty of our surroundings is by taking a stroll near local tide-pools. Organisms in tide-pools have to adapt to survive in both wet and dry environments as well as salt and freshwater depending on the amount of rainfall any given day. When most people think of ocean tides, they think of 'high' and 'low,' but what does this mean for tide-pools? The constant ebb and flow of the tides makes tide-pools a diverse and formidable ecosystem.
Organisms from anemones to sea-cucumbers make their homes among the reefs of San Diego and survive in the extreme environment of a tide-pool. These delicate ecosystems thrive along the San Diego coastline in shallow pools and deep cavernous ravines. Any given day during low-tide in San Diego I can walk along the beach and see adults and children alike enjoying the wonders of the San Diego tide-pools.
