We took advantage of the minus tide to hike at Bowman Bay and the headlands. We began at the boat launch and stayed on the beach and skirted around the first rock headland until Reservation Head. Lottie Bay to the west was nearly completely empty, pretty much a mud flat over an hour before the lowest point of the tide. We did a counter clockwise loop on the headland. Looking across to Lighthouse Point I could see a group light colored forms clinging to the rock wall just above the water line, through my lens I discovered anemones losing the fight against gravity until the tide rose once again.
