Winter Beach Explorers

Bring your family down to Largs Beach in the July school holidays and learn all about the amazing things we can find right here on our local beaches.

Join local shell expert and amateur marine biologist, Peter Hunt, on this guided beach combing session.

Did you know that winter is the best time of year to find interesting things on our beaches?

We'll explore the tide line and learn about the things we discover.

This is a fun way to learn about the beach environment through a hands-on experience.

This beach session is suitable for families with children of all ages. Adults and older children will learn so much about our local beach environment, whilst younger children will enjoy exploring the beach.

Please note that children must be accompanied by a guardian and be appropriately supervised by you at all times.

Adults are also welcome to attend without children, as there is so much all of us can discover and learn about our local environment.

Meeting Spot:

Meet in the carpark to the north of the Largs Bay sailing club (on Lady Gowrie Drive, opposite Wigley Street). Please meet 5 minutes before the session starts.We will then wander along the beach towards the Largs Bay Jetty, before returning around 11am.

What to bring:

• Please dress for the weather (warm clothing)
• Bring your water bottle and snacks
• Bring along a bucket or small bag to hold what you find
• We recommend you wear appropriate footwear and clothing to safely explore the beach environment.
• We will postpone or cancel the event if heavy rain or strong winds are forecast. We will notify you of this via email and sms.

It is good that we all acknowledge we are living on Kaurna Country.
