Rockpool Experience

Join the team of Newquay Marine Group and Newquay Wild Activities for an exploration of the South Fistral Rockpools.

Adventure through some of the best pools in Newquay with marine experts finding the amazing critters that share our shores.

The event lasts around 90mins and includes a pasty and a drink. You will be helping us! All species data collected will be sent to the local environmental record centre to help with conservation policy.

Meet at Esplanade Green for guide introductions and safety briefing. We have a minibus and can offer up to 8 people a lift if transport is an issue – please ask for more information when you book. First come first served.

Please note we will run this in all weather – unless there is a weather warning and we believe it is unsafe to do so. Please dress appropriately: sturdy shoes, coats and layers that you don’t mind getting wet! If the weather is unkind, the rockpool experience will be held in Newquay Marine Group’s room at the Harbour – where we will bring the rockpool critters to you.

All details will be confirmed 24 hours before the event
