We will have an exceptionally low tide (-2.75’) at 2:55 pm on this trip. This will make for an exciting trip with lots of exploration on the way, from the forest to the low tide exposing living sand dollar beds, moon snails and other low tide treasures. Wear hiking shoes, but also bring sandals or water shoes for the low tide.
