Beachcombing Field Trip

Join us to learn about the marine plants and animals you can find along the Cape shoreline—mollusks, crabs, horseshoe crabs, sponges, seaweeds, and more! This is a great trip for anyone who wants to share the wonders of the Cape’s beaches, salt marches, sand dunes and tide pools with kids and grandkids. Copies of Gil’s book, “Activities for the Cape Cod Beachcomber,” can be purchased at our website or giftshop for $10.
