What to Find On a Beach Scavenger Hunt

There is lots to find at the beach – pebbles, stones, driftwood, seaweed and shells that you can then use for shell crafts or a shell art picture when you get home)

Don’t forget about the wildlife – crabs, sea creatures, sandworms, sea gulls – there’s plenty to spot when you start looking!

And don’t forget to be an environmentally-friendly beach-goer too. If you come across any rubbish that others have left behind, pick it up and bin it so that the beach stays as fun and family-friendly as possible.
