The best time to view the many creatures that live along a rocky shore is during low tide, when pools of water and animals become trapped in the rocks. When climbing along the tide pools, take care not to harm any of the residents. And if you pick something up, return it gently where you found it. To find the tide schedule for your area, check your newspaper or try Tides Info.
