Check the rules before you go

Protected area: Waters covered by an overlapping California marine protected area; fishing prohibited.

What this page cannot tell you

These are predictions of the astronomical tide. Wind, swell and air pressure move the real water level, and a big swell can cover a low that looks good here.

This page says nothing about what you may find in the pools, whether you may enter or collect, or how to look after yourself on the rocks. National Park Service, Cabrillo National Monument manages this shore.
