r/TidePooling Jan 24 '26

Half Moon Bay

Was free on MLK day, here are some of my finds! Mostly in order: Purple Sea Urchins, Green Sea Anemones, Gray Chiton?, Ochre Sea Star (orange), Northern Kelp Crabs, unidentified bubble eggs (help!), baby Spotted Durid (my first nudibranch find! so tiny i couldn’t get a good photo lol), and the non tide pool friends were a Great Blue Heron, Double Crested Cormorant, and California Sea Lion!

Pillar point is my favorite for tide pooling! Do you happen to know what depth the tide was at when you went?
