Autumn Rockpool Ramble - Hannafore, West Looe

Autumn is a great season for rock poolers because the tides go out further.

This lower shore environment is full of creatures you normally wouldn’t be able to find. Weird and wonderful sea slugs such as sea lemons and sea hares as well as the vibrant blue rayed limpets can be found in and around the exposed kelp forests.

The eagle eyed rock pooler can also find the worm pipefish, a relative of the seahorse, perfectly camouflaged amongst the brown seaweeds.  If you’ve not joined  before, make it a date in your diary as this is the last of our organised rockpool rambles with the Looe Marine Conservation Group volunteers in 2015.

These popular events are free and there’s no need to book but we do welcome donations. The event is suitable for all ages but under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
