tl;dr: Best tide pooling on San Juan Island is at Grandma’s Cove, Lime Kiln Point, and Cattle Point. Low tides this week occur late morning to early afternoon.
Today, May 12, 2025, low tide at Roche Harbor is at 11:29 AM (−1.24 ft). Tomorrow, May 13, it's at 12:00 PM (−1.64 ft). These are excellent windows for tide pooling.
Grandma’s Cove is considered the island’s best tide pooling spot, offering sea anemones, crabs, mussels, and tide pool sculpins.
Other notable locations include Lime Kiln Point State Park, Deadman Bay Preserve, Fourth of July Beach, and Reuben Tarte County Park.
Cattle Point Lighthouse, at the island's southern tip, features rocky shorelines ideal for spotting tiny eels and suckerfish beneath rocks.
For optimal viewing, aim to arrive 30–60 minutes before low tide. Always tread carefully to protect delicate marine life and their habitats. 🔚Message Frequency

Sample Conversation
User: What’s my flight number again?Texxa: Your Alaska flight to LAX is AS1132 at 4:30pm. Terminal C. 🔚User: Ideas for entertaining Juni at campground?Texxa: tl;dr: Bring simple gear for nature play, movement games, and creative downtime. Rotate between active, quiet, and imaginative modes. Let her lead often.
Scavenger hunt: Make a list of nature items (mossy rock, feather, red leaf, bug trail). Give her a bag and let her “collect” the forest like a mini explorer.
Campground Olympics: Events like pinecone toss, log balancing, foot races, and silly obstacle courses. Create a “medal” ceremony with leaves or painted rocks.
Story stick: Each person adds to a story when they’re holding the special stick. Great for fire pit time. Can be silly, spooky, or mythic, depending on mood.
Glow stick games at dusk: Glow ring toss, hide and seek with glow bracelets, or dancing with light trails. Brings nighttime from scary to magical.
Make nature art: Use sticks, leaves, bark, stones to build fairy houses, nature mandalas, or stick creatures. Bonus: photograph them to “remember” later. 🔚Opt-Out Method
