By: Rich Linville

Narrated by: Stephen Justice

What do you think a tidepool might be? Some tidepools only exist at low tide. In what locations do you think tidepools are found? Tidepools are usually found at the seashore. The seashore, foreshore, or intertidal zone is the place that is above water at low tide and below water at high tide. This is also called the tidal range.

Tip #1. Take careful steps.

When visiting a tidepool, you are not walking on soft grass. Do not walk barefooted. Sometimes you cannot see the broken glass and sharp rocks that may be there. Wear shoes like good hiking boots that grip the rocks and are thick enough to walk on broken glass and sharp rocks. Do not wear flip-flops or you just might injure yourself as you flip and flop on the rocks.
