Tidehaven
A whole city of boats in the middle of the ocean, and a storm only the sea creatures can feel coming.
▶ Watch Episode 1 See All EpisodesWelcome to Tidehaven!
Ellie doesn't live on an island. She lives on a boat, in a floating city of boats called Tidehaven. Every kid learns to swim by age five, school is three boats over, and her dad is the fisherman for the whole city.
But lately something strange is happening. The nets are coming up empty, a soft blue light glows deep below the water, and the sea creatures seem to know something nobody else does.
