Tides and more add some quirks and challenges to backpacking on the beach.

Tides: Tide charts are like a forecast for the beach! They show what the water level will be throughout the day, including what time high tides will arrive.

Alternate routes: If we can’t get through on the beach because of high tide, we either wait it out or take an alternate route around.

Toilets: Some coastal areas have specific rules for depositing human waste.

Slow movement: Hiking on the beach is usually slower than on other surfaces. There’s plenty to explore, so the reduced pace doesn’t have to be a bad thing!

Camping: To safely camp near the ocean, we look for evidence of how high the tide will rise overnight. This includes maps, tide charts, possibility of storms, sand patterns, and driftwood.
