Mid June has some of the lowest tides of the year in the daylight, exposing colorful intertidal animals and lush seaweed. This summer a small team of Beach Naturalists trained through the Skagit Marine Resources Committee will be providing informal interpretation of the beach life at Washington Park Sunset Beach (near the boat launch).  Besides helping visitors identify what they are finding under the rocks, Naturalists help make sense of how beach life survives in the intertidal zone and how people can help it to thrive.

We stand on ground that used to be at the bottom of the sea floor, or from northern British Columbia, some from the coast of Mexico, and at times exposed mantle of the earth! If you have wondered about the hills, mountains, rocks and shoreline of Fidalgo Island, come learn how it came to be. Trail Tales interpretive walks are free, public walks along a paved handicapped accessible trail and last about 1.5 hours.
