Allen Vinson trained his camera at tide pools during a recent low tide. He found an Ochre Sea Star.

And he saw Sea Urchins, the more commonly seen purple ones, and a rarer red one. There is also a Sea Anemone here too.

The Independent Coast Observer publishes the tide tables in its weekly newspaper. Check the tide tables and plan your adventure to coincide with a minus tide or very low tide.

Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
