What you'll do

Let me take you back 10 000 years to a time when the Khoisan roamed the rugged Cape Coast of South Africa, and foraged on the rocky shores and tidal pools, teeming with life. Because this area is protected the sealife found here has not changed much since those times. So please introduce yourself and tell me about your favorite sea animal. My name is Terry and I love all creatures of the oceans so kick off those shoes, roll up your pants and get closer as I share the wonders of the rocky shores! I’ll be taking you on a guided trail along the seashore to explore the incredible life of the rocky shores and like modern day detectives we are going to discover creatures, and work out what the diet is of rare birds and other ocean animals. Firstly, we head down onto the beach, over the rocks and to these secret little pools I’ve found. I’ll share visuals and real life samples of the wonderful seashore creatures. We’ll talk about each area and about the creatures we find, their amazing features, how they move, what they eat, etc. Please ask questions as we go to help build your knowledge. Finally, we’ll reach the low tide level where we will learn about more weird and wonderful ocean creatures. Then it’s time for some creative fun while I guide you to make your own rock pool habitat, using recycled materials around the house. As we build it we can discuss where different animals live

More tips

Obviously it would be far better to take you across the road and show you the incredible rocky shores we have here but because of lockdown due to COVID 19 we are restricted to being indoors. So I will be providing you an interactive educational experience based on science on your phone, tablet or PC
