Beach Hero Guided Walks

Learn about the small –scale world that is right under your feet on the beach. Watch hermit and shore crabs scurry as their rock roof is carefully moved. Whole colonies of periwinkles, snails, and maybe a sea star, hide under there when the tide is out. Hear about how we can walk gently on our neighbors on the shore.

"A dogfish shark stranded in the eelgrass at low tide, east Crescent Beach. This poor little guy patiently waited for the water level to rise, occasionally swishing water onto his gills and eventually swam away. He was alright!"
