Wembury Marine Centre

Wembury in South Devon is a magnet for wildlife – its rocky cliffs are home to nesting seabirds and the rocky shore, slate reefs and massive wave-cut platforms provide one of the UK’s best spots for marine life. Wembury and the surrounding coastline form a Marine Conservation Area (MCA) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Wembury Marine Centre is the ideal place to learn about the surrounding area and its wildlife through interactive displays, regular rockpool and snorkel safaris, and other marine themed events. The Centre is managed by Devon Wildlife Trust on behalf of a partnership of funders including the University of Plymouth Marine Institute.
Visit the Wembury Marine Centre website for further information.
