Time the Cabrillo tide pools for a winter low tide

Sobre este Tip
At Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma, the rocky tide pools hold starfish, anemones and crabs. Go between December and March, aim for a tide of 0.7 feet or lower, and arrive an hour before the low. Rangers or volunteers often lead walks at low tide. When the lot fills, the road to the pools can close, so come early, wear grippy closed-toe shoes and plan ahead because there is no cell signal on the shore.
