Does it get any better than greeting a -3.3 tide at The Point itself? We will approach it from the Birch Bay side, about 3 miles of beach walking total. Rubber boots, field guide, snacks, water, hand-lens, hand towel are all recommended; bring what you have. ANTICIPATE COOL, BREEZY conditions. All knowledge levels and backgrounds are welcome.
