Rockaway Tide Pools

Rockaway Tide Pools features the massive, stately rocks at Garibaldi and some great tide pooling on this shoreline just on the inside of Tillamook Bay. You’ll have to cross the train tracks and the massive rip rap, and these only show up at fairly low tides. There are no more tide pools to be found until you get to Oceanside, some 10 miles south of here, on the other side of the bay. Some may be found at Bayocean, at the beginning of the spit going through Tillamook Bay, but only at really low tides. Barview Jetty and Nedonna Beach are all excellent places to find tide pools at low tide: This rocky area is located just inside the mouth of Tillamook Bay.The intertidal area is small, but offers large boulders, which provide habitat for many common intertidal species.Parking is limited, and visitors must cross a railroad right-of-way to access the intertidal area.
