Biologist Sandra Milligan is leading an intertidal zone walk at Willow Point Reef, starting out from Jaycee Park. It’s a hands-on, eyes-down look at all the cool creatures that show up when the tide’s way out.
If you’ve ever wanted to see what hides under the seaweed, this walk covers everything…barnacles and periwinkles up high, mussels and mussel shells mid-way, and loads of bright sea stars and crabs closer to the water 🦀.
Sandra knows exactly where to find all the unusual stuff too, like gumboot chitons, green urchins, even the occasional rainbow-hued nudibranch.
Turning over a rock might reveal a few surprises… sometimes you even spot a daisy brittle star, which is always a hit, especially with kids.
