Lowest tide of the month today, and John Smersh – co-proprietor of Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor) and volunteer beach naturalist – says it’s the naturalists’ last day of the summer. So if you want to low-tide-walk and learn as you go – get out this morning. John will be at Constellation Park; other beach naturalists will be at Lincoln Park. They’re out 10 am-1:30 pm but John notes that the lowest tide is 10:47 am, minus 3.5 feet – it’s still low-ish again tomorrow but not as low as today.

We saw a ‘fried egg’ jelly washed up on the beach at Seahurst yesterday. I’d never seen one before, really neat! Probably wouldn’t have seen it unless the naturalist pointed it out. Then she walked around with me and my daughter showing us interesting seaweeds and trying to help us find things on the beach. There wasn’t much and the little girl was more interested in squishing and tossing the seaweed but it was very nice to have someone there who knew what to look for and where. We also had a wonderful experience with the naturalist at Lincoln and Constellation parks.
So Yay volunteer beach naturalists! Thank you!!
