King Tide Hike 2026

Don't miss out on the last opportunity to experience a King Tide this winter! Join California State Parks Interpreter for a morning hike during a King Tide, the highest tides of the winter. We are expecting an approximate 7 ft. high tide! We will be participating in the California King Tides Project which helps us visualize future sea level by taking and sharing photos of the shoreline during King Tides to create a record of changes to our coast and estuaries. On this estuary hike, you'll find out about how the Reserve's long-term monitoring research contributes valuable data for tracking trends with a changing climate. You'll also learn about our celebrated plan to adapt to the impacts from riverine flooding and sea level rise.

We are excited to have fellow environmental educators from the San Diego Natural History Museum and San Diego Bird Alliance; the latter will provide Spanish translation as needed.

The walk starts at the Visitor Center and will make its way over to almost the south end of Seacoast Drive and then back, approximately 2 miles round trip. This hike is geared for ages 12 and up with adult supervision.
