Low Tide Rockhounding in BC

It’s pretty awesome rockhounding during the cooler months in British Columbia, Canada. Rock beds that were once completely submerged in water during the warm seasons are now accessible to walk upon! We got to explore a lot more area and made some interesting finds.

Here are some snaps during our trips in early 2024.
