The tidepools at Laguna Beach in Southern California are within the State Marine Conservation Area. When the tides recedes, the rocky points become homes to little fish, crabs and other anemones. When much of the rest of the country prepared to go "over the snowy river and through the snowy woods to grandmother's house," we headed south and spent the day enjoying the sun, surf, sand and starfish along one of California's most beautiful beaches.
