Ya man, there are a bunch of good places. The places you are going to check out are awesome but they are basically are more mud flat. If you want some more diversity, rocky tide pools have cool sea life like nems, etc. Whytecliffe is a great marine park to go bomb around in, as is Lighthouse park. If you drive a bit out of the city you can go to Ansel Point and Kelvin Grove for tide pools (they are also awesome diving spots). Last time I was at Ansel at low tide I saw an octopus checking out the few pools there for crabs.
