Coastal foraging is the practice of collecting edible shellfish, crustaceans, plants, and other marine life from coastal areas during low tide. It's an eay, fun, and sustainable way to gather fresh seafood and connect with nature.
The best foraging happens during low tides, especially during "minus tides." Our forecast helps you find these optimal times while considering weather conditions and safety factors.
You'd be surprised how much you can find in the tide pools — take your catch home, or whip out a pot and cook 'em up right there on the beach.
