Taking a trip to the coast this summer? We’ve put together a list of some great seaside activities you can get up to whilst you’re there.

Rockpooling

Explore and nerd-out over the weird and wonderful creatures you find inhabiting the rockpools. Check out our Rockpooling Guide full of tips on how to get started and information on the creatures you might find.

Help us to protect marine life and the ocean by doing a beach clean. You can join in and volunteer at a beach clean happening near you or even organise your own.

If you spot a jellyfish whilst you're at the coast, we want to hear about it! You can identify the jellyfish you see using our guide and report it through our wildlife sightings page.

Big Seaweed Search

It may be a bit slippery and slimy, but seaweed can tell us important information about how our climate is changing. If you're headed to the coast, become a citizen scientist and help us with our work. It's simple, download our Big Seaweed Search guide, note down what you find and then let us know.
