Cabrillo Beach Tide Pools
This past weekend we headed over to Cabrillo Beach to show Skyler more tide pools. We got there in the morning because that is the best way to plan the day with Skyler right now. He still naps at around 1pm or 2pm for a couple of hours. If he misses his nap it becomes a very long day.
Cabrillo Beach is a historic beach located in San Pedro, California. Cabrillo has two separate beach areas. It is also home to a few famous landmarks, namely the 1.75 mile Los Angeles Breakwater which ends at the Angel’s Gate Lighthouse, the recently restored Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse, and the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
We had just visited the tide pools in Laguna Beach a couple weeks earlier and realized he really liked seeing the wildlife in the water. Laguna Beach had the anemone police out so we couldn’t touch anything but this time Cabrillo Beach was unpatroled…
We made it to the parking lot and parked in front of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. The tide pools are on the ocean side of the breakwater/jetty. After a short walk about a quarter mile down we arrived at the tide pools.
There were tons of anemones everywhere. We showed Skyler how you can gently push down on the anemone it would squirt water.
While looking around and exploring Skye found two large spiral shells. We took a picture of them since we are not allowed to take anything from the beach.
We had a nice time at the tide pools, the water was beginning to return so we had to pack it out of there. We’ll have to go back this summer when it’s a little warmer. More photos at my photography website, CounterPointPhotography.com
