Opening Times

Sorry, this event has passed

Join us on a family friendly exploration through time along the Start Bay coastline. Wander along Slapton Sands and around to Limpet Rocks, looking at the formation of our fascinating coastline and how our unique stretch of beach came to exist.  We will look at the lithology of the shingle ridge, where these pebbles came from and the journey they've taken to get here. How were these materials used and what impact has this had on the local area? Finish the journey building stone skyscrapers, taking on the rock skimming challenge and with the option to get involved in a beach clean. 

What's included:

All rock guides and beach clean equipment will be provided. 


What to expect:

Sensible footwear will be needed to walk along the beach and potentially a small climb over the slates of limpet rocks. 

Expect a steep set of steps on this walk.

We will be outside so please dress appropriately for the weather. 

Level: Open to all, dogs welcome
