"The rocky intertidal area, also known as the tidepools, is a favorite spot at Cabrillo National Monument. Each year over 200,000 people visit the tidepools, one of the best protected rocky intertidal areas in California. The best time to visit the tidepools is during the fall and winter months, when we get our great low tides during park hours. During spring and summer, the tide is usually covering the tidepools when the park is open. Please read Prepare for Your Visit to the Tidepools and Protecting the Tidepools before your visit so you will be aware of what to expect."
