About

Discover our fascinating coast and the wildlife that call it home. Explore the pool and rocks at low tide, look for marine creatures, shells, rocks, and other treasures before returning to the centre to find out more in the pop-up coastal laboratory. Use microscopes and simple experiments to find out all about the rocks, fossils, and shells from our shoreline and the adaptations of the plants and creatures that live here.
