Going out with the tide

| Environment | West Seattle beaches | Wildlife

Over the next four days (Wednesday through Saturday), we’ll see the lowest tides of the summer (yes, we’re aware summer technically is still about a week away) — all -3 feet or lower, with the absolute lowest a -3.8 on Friday morning (check the full tide chart here). Seattle Aquarium beach naturalists will be out on Friday (and over the weekend) at Lincoln Park and south of Alki Point; one of our favorite low-tide spots is Lowman Beach, one of the areas where submerged structures start to emerge, as seen this morning:

Where is Lowman Beach?

It’s at the south end of Beach Drive, just north of Lincoln Park (there’s actually a small stretch of waterfront houses between Lowman and Lincoln). Wonderful small waterfront park with a swing and a tennis court and a couple of huge old trees, in addition of course to the beach.
