pnkrcklives Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Gonna take The girlfriend and her kids to some tide pools this weekend. Anyone have some suggestions. I would like to check out some I have never seen plus it is research for my future cold water oregon coast tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Our family favorite is just north of Newport...Yaquina head I believe is the name. this is a great source of pretty up to date info; link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googs Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yachats, south of Waldport which is south of Newport. The beach is only rock. Awesome pools everywhere and good agate hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I think the best ones are farther south. Down by Coos Bay. But do not know if you want to travel that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Probably not going to be traveling to southern coast. But newport area is doable. I have never been to any around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 yep north of newport is great. Make sure your at least 1-2 hrs before low tide and try to hit a minus tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharoleb Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 +1 on the great idea for the shells! I'm going to have to do that next time I'm there. Last time I was at the beach I found some cool rocks and used them as frag plugs. I like Cannon Beach, pretty cool tide pools there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef165 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Oceanside is great when there is a low tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 If its low tide and you find any smaller starfish bring em back for my tank That one lobster tank is still on craigslist in cottage grove (naughty) Pretty much any of the marine reserve areas are cool to look at if you are taking kids. Big no no for collecting though (enforcer) http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/docs/2010_Marine_Zone_Fish_Regs.pdf Check those out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 We like Bob Creek just south of Yachats. Lots of rocks, great at low tide. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
