Rockpool Safari - South Bay, Scarborough

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.

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.
