About this adventure
Located along the scenic coastal bluffs of San Pedro, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium offers an authentic, scientist-guided tidepool walk during favorable weekend afternoon low tides at Point Fermin Beach. Educators equip young marine biologists with identification guides to discover sea anemones, hermit crabs, colorful nudibranchs, and purple urchins in their natural rocky habitats. Afterward, head inside Frank Gehry's designed aquarium building to touch live bat rays and swell sharks in the touch tanks. The indoor aquarium is stroller-friendly; tidepool walks require closed-toe, non-slip footwear. Restrooms with baby-changing tables are available in the courtyard.
