Tidepool Adventure

My brother and family drove from Albuquerque to spend the end of Christmas vacation with us and to play at the beach! Early in the week on a warm day, we built sandcastles at Big Corona Del Mar (with kids getting in the water by the end).

Yesterday we went to explore the tidepools at Little Corona Del Mar (a first time visit for us). We picked a good low tide and were able to see lots of creatures, especially sea urchins. We found one pool filled with small active fish.

It's pretty rough terrain so we were grateful no one fell and needed stitches. Even the little ones were adventurous to try to get to difficult spots. Definitely a beautiful place that we plan to go back to.
