SEASHOREVISITS
Torbay's Marine World is a hidden jewel with 16 marine sites of national importance, including Saltern Cove, designated an underwater Local Nature Reserve and the only local underwater Site of Special Scientific Interest.
At The Seashore Centre we are trying to unlock the box to reveal this great jewel.
The Centre, which is located very close to the beach, Goodrington Sands in Paignton, is equipped with:
a Rockpool Zone with seawater tanks displaying marine wildlife
interactive displays about the seashore
a video microscope for examining finds
a classroom space for group sessions.
The experienced Rangers can offer the following types of activities or tailor made visits:
Centre Visit
Rockpool Ramble
Plankton Trawling
Shell Hunt
Beach Art
Strandline Search
Coastal Geography
Tourism study
Pond-dipping
We welcome visits from primary and secondary schools, colleges and community groups. The Centre is on the South West Coast Path and within walking distance of Paignton Harbour and Saltern Cove. We can also host seashore activities at other beaches around Torbay.
