Hit the beach at low tide
Beaches and parks along Puget Sound offer an abundance of sea creatures to observe during low tide, including sea stars, anemones, crabs and more. Seattle Aquarium’s Beach Naturalist program provides added knowledge and advocacy information at area beach parks. Check the website for upcoming spring dates to be posted and coordinate your park plans! Beach naturalists are wonderful resource if you’re looking for more insights about your low-tide discoveries.
Some of our favorite parks to spot aquatic wildlife include:
- Richmond Beach Saltwater Park in Shoreline
- Carkeek Park in North Seattle
- Golden Gardens in Ballard
- Seahurst Park in Burien
- Dash Point State Park in Federal Way
