Extreme Rockpool Safari

Event Series Event Series (See All)

August 31 @ 11:30 am 1:30 pm

Join our Devon Wildlife Trust staff and volunteers for an extreme rockpool safari!

About the event
Join us on an extremely low tide to explore Wembury’s most amazing rockpools, rarely uncovered by the tide!

Suitable for children 7+ and all children must be accompanied by a paying adult.

This event will involve walking a good distance over very slippery seaweed covered rocks and in deeper rockpools.

Please don’t bring nets – we’ll follow the Seashore Code and use our hands and tubs (we’ll provide tubs), but don’t forget your wellies/beach shoes!

Please note, National Trust car parking charges apply at Wembury Beach car park. The car park can fill up very quickly on hot, sunny days so please leave plenty of time to park and aim to arrive at the Marine Centre 10mins before the event starts.

Cancellation Policy – refunds will be issued up to 1 day before the event starts, minus the Eventbrite booking fee. If the event is cancelled by us due to poor weather, you will receive a full refund.

A Tompot Blenny (name: Parablennius gattorugine) having a lay-in at James Eagan Layne wreck. It is definitely feeling those weekend vibes 😴

Tompot Blennys have the nickname of 'the fish with antlers' due to its fussy tentacles on its head. They are medium sized, sharp toothed and territorial of their home. But if you find one diving, don't worry! They will usually show gentle curiosity around humans.

As always, give all wildlife their own space. Look but don't touch 😊

Plymouth Sound National Marine Park isn't just about animals that live under the sea, but above too.

Here's a beautiful photo of a Cormorant (latin name: Phalacrocorax carbo) relaxing in the golden hour light. As you can guess, they are a huge lover of fish and once they come up from diving, you may see it stood in the sun with its wings open to dry off.
