Event Description: Join us for an exciting and educational 2-hour immersive experience on the beautiful Seaham Beach! This hands-on lesson, led by The Sea We See, will explore the fascinating changes that occur in the North Sea during autumn. Perfect for children and parents alike, this event will deepen your understanding of our coastal ecosystem and inspire you to become a Coastal Guardian.

For our adventure, we will meet at the park bench at ///stage.works.losses and descend to the beach via the stair case. We'll explore the coastline to the north, witnessing the impacts of coastal erosion and cliff habitat changes. Then we stroll south along the tideline, we'll discover autumn's effects on beach debris and remove any hazards to marine life. Finally, we’ll ascend to the coastal path for some marine life observations before returning to the carpark for a well-deserved hot drink and biscuit. This is a perfect way to learn, protect, and cherish our beautiful coast.
