During our Beach Safari, we embark on an exciting beach walk to discover the abundant life on the shore and in the North Sea. This interactive and educational experience is perfect for both young and old. With a large trawl net, magnifying jars, identification cards, and a keen eye, we will learn to recognise the animals, plants, and shells we encounter. Throughout the tour, our guide will share fun facts and interesting titbits about everything we come across.
Using a trawl Net
We will use a large trawl net to trawl through the shallow waters along the coastline. This net helps us capture and observe a wide variety of marine life, offering a unique glimpse into the underwater world.
Magnifying Jars and Identification Cards
Magnifying jars allow us to examine our smaller catches up close, while identification cards help us recognise and learn about the different species of animals, plants, and shells we find.
Animals and Plants You Might Encounter
Starfish: These fascinating echinoderms come in various shapes and sizes.
Crabs: We will discover different types of crabs, from the small shore crab to the larger North Sea crab.
Shrimps: These crustaceans often hide under rocks and in the sand.
Fish: Small fish, such as sand eels, live close to the shore.
Shells: We will find and identify various shell species that wash up on the beach.
Other Marine Life: We might even encounter seahorses, cuttlefish, jellyfish, and seals.
Fun Facts and Interesting Titbits
Our guide will share fascinating information and stories about marine life. Did you know that a starfish can regenerate a lost arm? Or that crabs walk sideways because of the way their legs are structured? You'll also learn the difference between a common seal and a grey seal, and how to identify a male crab.
An Activity for Everyone
The Beach Safari tour is a fantastic activity where young and old alike can learn about beach life. It is a perfect opportunity for families, school groups, or individual nature enthusiasts to explore the rich biodiversity of the coast.
Safety and Respect for Nature
Safety: We ensure that all participants remain safe during the activity. We stay in shallow water and avoid strong currents.
Respect for Nature: We treat all animals and plants with care and return them to their natural environment after observation. It's important to respect and protect nature.
