I love how the tidal pools are filled with things that are easily found and captured - of course we always release them, but it is great for the kids to be able to see such a wide array of things.

Mid-Afternoon at the Beach
My favorite time at the beach is mid afternoon, just after the littlest kids have been brought home for naps and just before the rowdier teens show up.

This looks like fun. What were you using to look at the creatures? We live near the beach and would love something like that. ;)
I got this a while back at a nature store, it is actually a pond and tadpole box but it works fabulously for all sorts of nature exploration. They can be hard to find but if you have a small local toy store, that would be a good spot to try. Here is the only link I could find for one on amazon.

It works great because it has the scooper, which also has a magnifier!
Good Luck!
