A tide pool or rock pool is a shallow pool of seawater that forms on the rocky intertidal shore. These pools typically range from a few inches to a few feet deep and a few feet across. [ 1 ] Many of these pools exist as separate bodies of water only at low tide , as seawater gets trapped when the tide recedes.
The tide pools are a popular hiking location, [4] [5] [6] and can be reached by the Flat Point Trail. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The trail access is located on road going from Saba's airport to Cove Bay .

Tide pools with sea stars and sea anemone in Santa Cruz, California In addition to being shaped by aspects of climate, intertidal habitats—especially intertidal zonation patterns—are strongly influenced by species interactions, such as predation, competition, facilitation, and indirect interactions.
A California tide pool in the low tide zone. The intertidal region is an important model system for the study of ecology, especially on wave-swept rocky shores. The region contains a high diversity of species, and the zonation created by the tides causes species ranges to be compressed into very narrow bands.
