Among the many activities available in Pacific Rim National Park on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in BC, combing the rocks at low tide for sea life is one of the most popular. It is common to see colourful ochre sea stars, and sea anemones.
Hard, stiff and spiny sea creatures when exposed during low tide, the ochre sea star, a common sight along the West Coast of Vancouver Island is flexible when submerged.
The ochre sea star is found throughout the cooler waters of the Northern Pacific Ocean off the coast of North America. The Pacific Rim National Park on the West Coast of Vancouver Island which features a portion of coastline with rocky outcrops is a popular place to comb for tidal pool sea life such as sea stars, sea anenomes, sea snails, crabs and a variety of other sea creatures.
