Description:
UPDATED APRIL 25th: Instead of Boiler Bay on Saturday, because getting the tide pool area is treacherous, we will drive 1 mile north to Fogarty Beach are explore the beach and tide pool area there.
======
Enjoy exploring tidepools during two negative low tides on the Oregon coast. We will be group camping at Beverly Beach State Park, just north of Newport.
Thursday, Jun 16, 2022:
In the later afternoon or early evening, arrive at Group Camp #2 at Beverly Beach State Park. Check-in at the park begins at 4pm. The leader should be arriving by 6pm, but you are welcome to check in earlier.

The low tide is 9:29am. In the early morning (7am), we will drive 30 minutes south to Seal Rock and explore tidepools during an impressive -2.4 feet (-73 cm) low tide. This area is good for tidepooling as we can walk on sand, visit 'islands' of marine life, and not crush critters underfoot. After several hours, about 10am when the tide is coming in, we will return to the group camp. The rest of the day is open for exploring on your own or going as a group on some local hikes.
Saturday, Jun 18, 2022:
The low tide is 10:20am. In the early morning, we pack up camp (by 8:30am) and drive 15 minutes north to Boiler Bay State Park and explore this area during a -1.8feet (-55cm) low tide. The "path" down to the tide pool area is steep, and if we have to make other arrangements at a nearby location we will. This part of the trip is exploratory by the group leader. After several hours we will finish up.
Pay the trip leader $20 upon arrival; this covers camping fees, and wood for a fire (if allowed at that time). This trip begins at Beverly Beach State Park, Group Camp #2. The park does have flush toilets and showers, though our group will likely be sharing a communal pit toilet with another group. Covid protocols will be in place on our trip.
Bring your tent, camping cookstove, meals, snacks, etc. Be prepared for wind, rain, and cool temperatures on the coast. The moon will be a Waning Gibbous with 87% illumination, if the wind is not an issue we might be able to include an evening low-ish tide walk on the beach. The trip leader is fully vaccinated and boosted.
