Swami's Tide Pools



Just walk down these steps at Swami's in Encinitas to find tide pools galore.  Of course you have to time the tides, but modern technology makes that easy...
Siri, when is low tide?  
9:00am?
Done.

Not only does this area have marine organisms to inspect but the rocks hold the history to the past, the sedimentary rock here formed over 50 million years ago.  
Some of these little creatures even make their homes on fossilized little creatures from long ago.



Who's hungry?!
Hanging out at the beach does NOT make me want to eat seafood. 
Lobsters are in the phylum arthropoda, the same phylum as insects!

  1. Oh man, I love meandering in tidepools. What gorgeous photos and no one was there. WOW. I loved the shell image and the lobster, where did he come from? Duh, I know the sea (expecting that answer from you) but was he deceased and washed up on shore. Not an every day beach occurrence. Fun stuff Brady!
