The Tacoma Nature Center’s Tiptoe through the Tidepools event will be Tuesday at Titlow Beach, 8425 Sixth Ave. The event will be from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. when the low tide reaches -3.5 feet.
The events are free and reservations are not required. Bring sunscreen, and wear shoes and clothing appropriate for walking on rough beach terrain.
