Sharp-eyed beachcombers will find a variety of treasures hidden in the seaweed and sand. You can comb the beach for treasures at any time of the year and you will find different things. Sometimes what you find is easy to identify and explain, but other things are a mystery.
Rockpools are miniature worlds of their own. They provide refuge for vegetarian snails, scavenging crabs, and hunters like octopuses and whelks. When the tide goes out, we get a glimpse of this fascinating underwater world.
This book will help you to identify and find out about many beach-washed objects and rockpool creatures. It is an invaluable guide for seashore explorers.
