Low tide on the Pacific Coast uncovers a magical world of little sea creatures: animals that look like flowers or plump round pincushions; crabs that carry snail shells on their backs, orange starfish; ancient armored chitons; and oddly shaped sea shells, mostly occupied.
The rocky intertidal zone – the portion of beach between high and low tide – is a tough place to live. Alternately covered by the sea and exposed to rain and the drying sun, creatures must also withstand the force of inrushing tides and the coast’s fierce salt winds.
Nevertheless, the array of animals that thrive here is abundant and varied.
