Our first community tide pooling event of the season!

Join Turning Tides for our monthly Community Tide Pooling event in Biddeford Pool! These events are intended for Mainers to get together and explore their own backyard with local marine scientists. Held on the lowest possible tide of each summer month, Community Tide Pooling Events are strategically timed to showcase the greatest diversity of terrain and creatures available. Come say hello to some of the critters who like it cold before they move to deeper waters for the summer.

Ebb & Flow Coastal Retreat

Saturday, June 13, 2026 | 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM | $125

A retreat where mindfulness meets marine biology

Join Kaneel and Turning Tides this summer for a unique retreat blending mindfulness meditation and environmental science. Ebb & Flow is an invitation to pause, engage your sense of curiosity and play, and connect with the rhythmic cycles of the tides. This day-long retreat invites you to move beyond the typical beach getaway and intentionally learn about the beach itself. Throughout the day, we will explore the coast through a series of immersive mindfulness practices, including meditation, ocean dipping, mindful beachcombing, a gourmet lunch featuring sustainable seafood, and guided tide pooling.
