About the event

Wembury Bay has long been recognised for its amazing rocky shore environment. In fact, Wembury is often found on the list of the top rockpooling spots in the UK.

Our expert team will take you on a guided rockpool safari to meet and learn about some of Wembury's most famous inhabitants, from crabs to starfish and everything in between.

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 wear wellington boots or other suitable sturdy shoes which can get wet and please leave your rockpool nets at home, as we follow the Seashore Code and use our hands and buckets instead (tubs provided).

Please note, National Trust car parking charges apply at Wembury Beach car park. The beach 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 Centre 10 mins before the event starts.

Cancellation Policy – requested 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.
