Pillar Point

It's a nice place to ignite children curiosity and talk about nature. They will love it. You have to walk around 10 min from the parking lot to get this place. Chexk the hours for low tide, and be patient when arrive to the parking area. Someti.es is very crowdy and there is no place to leave you car!

It was a great experience, and we will definitely be back out for more fun under the "Sun." (For context we were fishing, sea urchining?, and crabbing) There were about 15mph winds at its lowest, it was overcast for about 90% of our stay even though it was supposed to be sunny, and there were about 12 foot swells that kept crashing into the rocks and forcing itself to rush above our calves each time. This would have been a horrible time for anyone who was unprepared, but luckily, I was fully geared with 3 layers and a set of waders. We ended the day with about 90 Sea Urchins, 3 Rock Crabs, and 1 Rock Fish, so pretty successful, I would say. Will definitely be coming back and will also be bringing my family.

Went urchin foraging on Jan 27th. Found a decent number at 0 ft water level. Lots of pretty sea life.

Had so much fun exploring the tide pools. My little guy loved the sunken ship in the bay.

Such a lovely place, easy walk, and super fun to explore tide pools when the tide is right.
