Being tidal waters, the beaches are constantly changing between high tide and low tide. Puget Sound covers over 1000 square miles. Just sit and watch the waves, the boats, and the birds if you like.

You may see seaweed, a variety of snails, tiny crab, clams, sea urchin, anemones of different colors, tiny fish, sea stars and more on this excursion.

Even without tide pools exposed, the beaches are a wonderful place we go to relax and forget the business of life for a while. We’ll check the tides before you make your decision to go to the beach.
