The Giant Green Anemone is found all along the Pacific coast of North America from California to Alaska. This example was photographed in the tidepools at Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park.

We've often found the Giant Green Anemone in large clusters in the tidepools along the Pacific coast of Washington, Oregon and California. These Anemones are closing as the tide recedes.

This is a Giant Green Anemone still open at low tide and photographed at Yaquina Head near Newport Oregon.

After walking around the headland at Yaquina Head Natural Area to see the seabirds and the lighthouse, we went down to the beach, itself a wonderful area of black granite cobbles, and explored the tide pools. The Purple Sea Urchins and the Giant Green Anemones were especially abundant. Yaquina Head is one of our favorite places on the Oregon coast and is near Newport.

At Arcadia Beach, our first stop along the Oregon coast, we explored the tide pools and found a lot of Anemones. These are the Giant Green Anemone and Aggregating Anemones.

The Aggregating Anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima. is very common on the Pacific Northwest coast. These were photographed in the tidepools at Rosario Beach on Fidalgo Island.
