On our fifth Blue Recovery Beach Day we had periods of cloud and rain but that didn’t stop us from getting out there to explore some rock pools. The Princess Pavilion once again provided us with some delicious pasties and some much needed shelter at the end of the day, as well as serving as a fantastic venue for our second ‘See Our Shore’ event.
Falmouth’s Castle and Tunnel Beach were home to many amazing wildlife discoveries this week for our fourth Blue Recovery Beach Day… from giant spider crabs to devils crabs, there was loads to find! Starting out at the beautiful Princess Pavilion, we welcomed all this week’s participants – some returning and some new. It was a day full of sunshine and much needed sunscreen!
This was our third event and we have certainly got into the swing of things. Falmouth’s Tunnel Beach was again home to inviting shimmering rock pools hiding incredible marine life. Our morning started once again at the fantastic Princess Pavilion, where we greeted those taking part and signed them up to The Rock Pool Project. We got the day kickstarted with the classic Blue Recovery Wildlife Quiz where our groups had a great time learning about all the amazing creatures that they might discover down on the beach.
If, like me, you have ever looked into a colourful rock pool and wondered about all the small animals and plants that live in its green shadows, then a Blue Recovery Beach Day is for you! Blue Recovery’s first Rock Pool Beach Day got off to a great start this Month at Tunnel Beach here in Falmouth. Despite the clouds, an enthusiastic group of us met to see what wonders there were to find in the rock pools.
It seems as though people’s fascination with rock pooling is growing among the people of Falmouth. Last Saturday an enthusiastic group of rock poolers met up at the Princess Pavilion and we headed to Castle beach to see what could be found in and under the rocky shoreline.
Cornwall’s coast has beaches, cliffs, coves, and rocky shores. Beneath the waves lie cliffs, chasms, and dunes. At low tide, rock pools reveal hidden worlds and fascinating creatures!
