Extreme Rockpool Safari - South Bay

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are leading an Extreme Rockpool Safari at the Sea Cliff Road car park on Wednesday 28 October, from 10:30am to 12pm. It's a guided walk out onto the rocky shore of South Bay, which only gets uncovered during extremely low tides, so this is one of those things you can't just do whenever you fancy. The Trust is the only charity entirely dedicated to conserving, protecting and enhancing Yorkshire's wildlife and wild places, and they're the ones running the whole thing.

Out on the shore, you'll be looking for marine life that's usually hidden under the water: kelp forests, lobsters and sea urchins are some of the things you might spot. It's a guided tour, so you'll have someone with you to point out what you're seeing rather than just guessing at what's in the pools. The walk is suitable for families and adults, though children have to be supervised by an adult throughout.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you head out. You'll need waterproof footwear — wellies are best — for the steep path and the uneven, slippery ground, so don't turn up in trainers. There are no toilets or catering at the venue, only nearby public facilities, so it's worth sorting yourself out before you arrive. The meeting point is the Sea Cliff Road car park, 42 Sea Cliff Road, Scarborough, YO11 2XU, in South Bay. Tickets run from £6.80 to £13.18, and the walk goes from 10:30am to 12pm.
