This June was the lowest tide in 13 years, so of course we headed to the Salt Creek Recreation Area and Tongue Point for low tide to explore the tidepools and sea life. This is a beautiful area east of Port Angeles along the Straigt of Juan De Fuca, and fortunately the weather was spectacular!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much to see out here, if you’re willing to squiggle and squirm your way over wet rocks and seaweed, crouch down, and take the time to notice the little things. It’s possible to walk out to the very tip of Tongue Point that isn’t normally accessible except for the lowest of tides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately there are not nearly as many sea stars as there were years ago, there was a massive die off in 2013\/14. The disease is called \u201cs<\/strong>ea star wasting syndrome\u201d and continues to kill sea stars along the Pacific Coast of North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking along Crescent Beach is also beautiful, and right next to Tongue Point. Having sunshine is a bonus!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
