“SWAGY !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 2, 2013

So so so beautiful. Should have packed a picnic. Lots of sea urchins and starfish BUT PLZ DON'T PICK UP. Don't forget your Nikkis! You're gonna need some hard core running shoes to climb the rocks or some flip flops to flop around in the water, YOU decide. Got some great pics here. Can't wait to come again.

“Great fun!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

Definitely find out when low tide is and enjoy viewing the tide pools. We tookmourmyoung kids and they loved it. A biologist was also on hand pointing out the marine treasures to be found in the pools. Don't miss this!

“Definitely a "Must See"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 7, 2012

I spent hours examining the varied wildlife in the tidepools by Hiesler Park. Depending on the tides, there were hermit crabs, anemones, mussels, chitons, small fish, and many other interesting organisms. Definitely a "must see" if you have never explored tide pools.
