Extreme Rockpool Safari

22nd April 2023 @ 1:00 pm 3:00 pm

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.

Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) are fierce predators in our National Marine Park. They have on-demand changing camouflage, beak-like jaws and eight 'arms' with two tentacles around the mouth.

Common Cuttlefish makes light work of crabs, fish and even small cuttlefish. They don't fancy us humans though so you'll be safe to watch them being cool 😎

A brilliant photo of a Snakelocks Anemone. They may look beautiful and harmless but don't touch! They can release tiny barbs that have proven very irritating if you get them in your eyes 👀

This striking character is a male Corkwing Wrasse (Symphodus melops) and is carrying seaweed to an elaborate nest that he's working on.

This Corkwing Wrasse is well in season (photo taken in spring/summer) with his bright colouration 🌈
