Seashells by the Seashore

Join Park Ranger Jamie for a guided stroll along the sandy shores and discover the fascinating world of seashells. Learn how to identify different shells, uncover the stories of the marine creatures that call them home, and explore the incredible diversity of shapes, colours, and textures. Along the way we'll discuss how shells are made, why they look the way they do and how we can ethically appreciate these treasures without disturbing their ecosystems. 

Accessibility:

As the location will be decided on the day (reliant on weather conditions) we cannot provide details of accessibility. However, it will likely involve a walk down to the beach (eg steps) and a leisurely walk on the beach. There will be no shade. Accessible toilets are located at the Visitor Centre where we will be meeting. 

Who is this event for?

This activity is suitable for families and other visitors wanting to learn more about the marine and coastal environment.
