TERMS

Terms of use

California Tide Pools provides educational and trip-planning information. Conditions on the coast change quickly. A map pin does not guarantee legal access, safe conditions, parking, exposed tide pools, or an open trail.

Use current local information

Visitors are responsible for checking tides, surf, weather, park hours, closures, posted rules, Marine Protected Area regulations, and emergency guidance before entering a coastal area.

Wildlife and habitat

Users should follow all applicable laws and site rules. Do not collect, disturb, feed, chase, or handle protected wildlife.

Third-party content

Maps, photos, directions, and linked information may be provided by third parties and remain subject to their own terms and attribution requirements.
