Join us throughout the summer at your favorite local beaches to wade through the mud and turn over rocks discovering estuary creatures like crabs, worms, sea stars and clams during summer low tides! The Estuarium’s trained volunteer Beach Naturalists will help you explore and identify the Salish Sea’s unique intertidal life during our annual Meet the Beach program. Check out our Beach Schedule to learn where you can find Beach Naturalists this summer.
