A second Low Tide Day exploration will investigate rock pools to discover what wild beasts lurk there. This starts at 5pm.

Tony Child, Thanet Coast Project manager, said: “The afternoon will be fun, aimed at helping to create one of our well-known coastal inhabitants, followed by a glimpse into our unique marine life.”

Both events are free. Low Tide Day is a national celebration held annually.

Forthcoming TCP events include Coast on Camera, a walk with cameras from 10am on Saturday, May 10, along Kingsgate’s shores.
