Tide Pools in Vancouver?

theres some good tidepool areas around the sea wall. Just a little bit East of Lumberman's arch, there's a large flat that is exposed at low tide. Remember your rubber boots though... the whole thing will be very wet and slippery.

Thanks guys! Some good ideas. Its suppose to be quite low this sunday and monday mornings/evenings. I think it gets very low the next weekend.

Great Idea. My g/f & I would love to go out & see some tide pools.

Next Weekend would be perfect.

What time is low tide in the mornings?

I've got a 1 1/2 drive to get anywhere being in the 'Wack!

Figured I would bump this thread rather than starting a new one. Thanks to this thread I've got Centennial Beach and White Rock on my schedule for this weekend. Was wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions for tide pools to check out as I'll be in the Vancouver area this coming weekend.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! We ended up spending the morning at Centennial beach. Wow, we LOVED that beach. Very family friendly with a playground, clean posh bathrooms, a cafe. Kids had so much fun.

Lots of tide pools to frolic in. As suggested, we grabbed some cheap water shoes at Walmart for everyone and set out to find critters. In the various pools.

My son was able to find and catch quite a few local critters ranging from crabs, tiny fish, hermit crabs and even a couple of flounders (I think?).

I didn't think that we'd be there that long but they didn't want to leave so we ended up meeting up with Seahorse Fanatic and his family there for a BBQ lunch on the beach.

Good times and great eats! Thanks again man! :-)
