Rock Pooling at New Brighton


The rock pooling walk at New Brighton on 15th May suffered from the weather - sunny, but a strong cold wind that was blowing the sand across the shore and into the pools. The small brave group that ventured out (all 8 of them) was rewarded with sea anemonies, shrimps, prawns, whelks and a blenny, as well as Sabellaria reefs on the artificial groins.


Margaret Coles, who led the walk, invites anyone who sees her rock pooling on New Brighton beach over the summer to come and join in! The rock pools are on the beach in front of the Floral Pavilion, with the circular holes where the pier supports rested forming some of the best pools.
