During our Beach Safari, we embark on an exciting beach walk to discover the seals and the abundant life on the shore in the North Sea. This interactive and educational experience is perfect for both young and old. With a large trawl net or crab rods, magnifying jars, identification cards, and a keen eye, we will learn to recognise the animals, plants, and shells we encounter and discover all you wanna know about seals in the natural habitat. Throughout the tour, our guide will share fun facts and interesting titbits about everything we come across.
Using a trawl Net (summer edition)
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.
Using Crab rods (Spring / Autumn edition )
Armed with a crab rod, we challenge the sea in search of the biggest crab.
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
Seals: We will see and learn all about the seals in the North sea.
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.

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.
