Tidal pools

Harmony Park tidal pool

Tidal pools are rocky pools at the coast that are filled with seawater. A perimeter wall allows seawater and marine life (such as small fish and seaweed) to be washed into the pool during high tide. At low tide when no waves are breaking over the walls, the pools provide a safer option to swim in than the oceans as the currents are kept at bay.
