Oregon has many wonderful tidepools to explore 

Depending on where you are on the coast, many of Oregon’s state parks provide access to rocky shore areas. There are also places along the coast that have specialized interpretive programs.

Explore a map of some popular tidepooling locations along the Oregon coast.

 

For More Information

Oregon State Parks' tidepool brochure has a detailed map of Oregon's rocky shores with information about access difficulty and directions, and some popular tidepools along the Oregon Coast.

Remember to keep an eye on the ocean at all times to prevent getting surprised by not only how fast the tide has come in, but also to be aware of sneaker waves and drift logs. Also, try to wear comfortable shoes with good ankle support and grip. Oregon’s rocky areas are VERY slippery, even when it isn’t raining outside!
