Was it salt water or fresh bubbling up?

No offense, but I didn't really care to taste it

Smelling it would have been enough.

I'm having quite a hard time imagining what you're describing. So since it's a lowtide, the seaweeds are already exposed? And water is flowing out from them (the holes) where the seaweeds are?
Maybe they're habitats of some sea creature/s?

ditrackster: that's basically it.
I didn't really smell it either.

I’m not 100% percent sure about this, but I will give it a shot.
You said when you first got there the tide was lowering, its typical for a tide to change 2.5 times a day, so I would guess you and your family stayed quite some time before you left for the day.
So my guess is that the tide was changing witch would refill any whole left in the sand weather its a habitat, whole from a rock, or seaweed thus expelling air (bubbles) or water up through the holes for several seconds.
Now if you stood there and watched it for 30+ minutes my theory would not be correct

Because the tide was lower, the higher water went down... it just had an "obstacle course" to get there... (thus slowing it)
