Nature Program: Explore the Rocky Shore–Tide Pooling

Tide pools are special places, home to an array of fascinating animals and seaweeds uniquely adapted to thrive between the tides—in the rocky intertidal zone. You never know what you’ll find in the tide pools at Odiorne Point State Park. Join us for tide pooling explorations as we search for crabs, sea stars, mussels, urchins, and more! Learn more on our Nature Programs web page.

Program ticket includes admission to Seacoast Science Center.
