• Our self guided snorkelling adventure with begins from our beach hut on Middle Beach in Dorset. From here we will provide you with your equipment and you can head out on the kayaks to investigate the local marine life.
• At Red End Point, a coastal headland steeped in geographical and historical interest, you will explore the rich marine life, keep your eyes peeled for seaweeds, anemone’s, limpets, crabs, pipe fish and more.
