Join our team for a guided tour of the rocky shore and go in search of weird and wonderful marine life within the rockpools!
About this Event

The tides are extremely low so get ready for a rockpool safari with a difference. We’ll take you on an exploration of the shore as we search for marine life which is only uncovered on a very low tide. Discover kelp forests, look out for lobsters and seek out sea urchins.


This event is funded by River Esk Connect (REConnect) - a community engagement project funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, based around the River Esk and its coastal streams.


Please note, children must be supervised by an adult throughout the event.


Embrace your wild side - what to expect:

This event is suitable for families. The event will involve walking over uneven ground on the rocky shore and on slippery surfaces.

What to bring/wear

This event takes place outside so brace yourself for the Yorkshire weather! Please ensure to wear suitable footwear and to bring waterproof clothing. We will be walking through rockpools so waterproof shoes are required - wellies would be best.

Toilets and catering

Please be aware that Yorkshire Wildlife Trust do not have facilities in Scarborough. However, there are a number of public toilets and catering facilities nearby.

Covid-19 secure

If you have tested positive or think you may have Covid-19 we ask you to stay at home. Please contact Supporter Services if this is the case and your booking will be refunded. Visit our events Covid-19 page for more details.
