Salt Creek’s tide pool area at Tongue Point is a coastal gem teeming with marine life, best explored at low tide. A short walk from the parking area leads to rocky outcrops where you can spot sea stars, anemones, crabs, and more in vibrant tide pools. The dramatic scenery includes views of Crescent Bay and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with occasional glimpses of seals or bald eagles. It’s a perfect mix of discovery, scenery, and salt air. Each excursion is 2 hours and timing is dependent on the tides. The best low tides in the summer tend to be earlier in the day.
