Review:
The stunning coastline of Laguna Beach is dotted with tidal pools that offer visitors a glimpse of life beneath the sea. The tidal pools lie in the intertidal zone, the area between the high tide and low water line that teems with various forms of fascinating marine life.
All of the tide pools are in a State Marine Conservation Area and fall under the protection of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative State, which means that nothing is allowed to leave these areas, including game fish, invertebrates, sand, rocks, and shells.
Tide pool docents based on the Main and Treasure Island beaches are available to introduce and guide you through the tide pools and explain more about the fragile ecosystems that survive in them.
