There is so much more to the sea than meets the eye – and the rocky coast is living proof! Join us to discover a fascinating world hidden between the waves and the kurkar rocks. Here, tiny creatures face extreme daily challenges like nature’s own superheroes.

We’ll walk along the waterfront, explore the rock shelves, and search for crabs, snails, and small fish hiding right under our noses. You’ll learn how these resilient creatures survive the constant shifts between baking sun, crashing waves, and howling winds. Between the high and low tides, come discover a beach that is mysterious, beautiful, and bursting with life!
