Junior Seashore Safari 2026
Marine experts Emma and Winter will take you on a rock pool adventure!
About this Event
In Wales Nature Week come with us on a seashore safari with Emma Lowe and Winter Dotto to discover the amazing creatures hidden in those low-tide rock pools and under seaweedy boulders at Bracelet Bay.
You could find crabs, starfish, anemones.... - and you know those sponges from your bath time? Well there are living sponges in the sea around Swansea!
Emma and Winter are both professional marine biologists and they'll show us how to explore pools and take a close look at some fantastic creatures without harming them. They'll also be able to tell you about the weird things you find.
Please wear waterproof, grippy shoes as wet rocks and pebbles are slippery. and make sure you bring an adult - parents and grandparents will love it too.
This event is most suitable for anyone aged 4 and over. Everyone is welcome, families, parents, grandparents, beginners, experts. All children must be accompanied by adults.
All creatures will be carefully returned to the location where they were found.
Please dress according to the weather forecast on the day - sunscreen and hats if it's going to be hot and sunny - or waterproofs for showers.
If you've got them, bring white or see-through trays and hand lenses if you want to have a close look at your "finds."
MEET: on the pavement at the "lighthouse end" of the car park at the top of the path down to the beach. What3Words /// shift.searching.stone
