Introduction
On this family-friendly Wild Seaside Adventure, join Devon Wildlife Tours as you visit an award-winning, red sand beach at the heart of the English Riviera. This is your chance to encounter and learn all about the exciting coastal marine life of the UK through a jam-packed itinerary of rockpooling, birdwatching and, if lucky, potentially even Dolphin spotting.
Devon Wildlife Tours has over two decades of experience exploring this magical part of the UK and discovering its wildlife secrets. Run and owned by passionate local Ecologists, they love to share knowledge & skills in the hope of infecting others with their enthusiasm. In a world so disconnected from nature, they aspire to help people rediscover the natural world and promote the importance of its conservation.
This seaside adventure will take place at Preston Sands, a family-friendly red sand beach with stunning views of the English Riviera. Your experience will take place a few hours either side of low tide so you can access the amazing array of easy access rock pools which sit at the northern end of the beach.
You’ll be guided as to the best ways to find and handle the amazing array of marine life in a respectful way, as the safety and well-being of the wildlife you encounter will always be a top priority.
You’ll have plenty of illustrated guide books to assist your group with identifying any creatures you find including crabs, sea slugs, fish and an abundance of molluscs with their stunningly beautiful shells.
As we the experience comes to a close, don’t forget to pack your swimming gear, as you’ll always have the opportunity for a rejuvenating swim in the Seaside award-winning waters, or grab chips and an ice-cream from one of the local beach shacks.
