Rockpool Ramble at Portballintrae
Saturday 9th May 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Ages 10+
Limited spaces available
Meeting point: Portballintrae Village Hall


Join Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust and Centre for Environmental Data and Recording - CEDaR for a morning exploring the fascinating rockpools at Salmon Rock Beach, Portballintrae.

Discover the hidden world of the shoreline as we explore the rich rockpools along the Causeway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These miniature marine habitats are full of life, and with a careful look, you might spot creatures such as shore crabs, hermit crabs, beadlet anemones, limpets, periwinkles, and colourful seaweeds clinging to the rocks.

The guides will help you learn how these fascinating species survive the changing tides and harsh coastal conditions.

Please note: Suitable clothing and sturdy footwear are essential as the rocks can be extremely slippery.
Booking is recommended due to limited numbers.

Come along for a fun and educational morning by the sea!

This is a partnership event with Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council to support the Blue Flag Award
