Flotsam and jetsam from the seven seas can – and does – wash up on Sefton’s sandy beaches, such as Southport, Ainsdale and Formby, and the Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership has decided to celebrate the fun and mystery of beachcombing with a one-off festival day in October.
Coconuts covered in goose barnacles, Kemp Ridley’s Turtle, octopus, exotic Triggerfish and the shells of the enigmatic Ocean Quahog have all come ashore in recent years – but you never know what you’ll discover on the tideline.
The free Beachcombing Festival will take place at Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre from 10am to 3pm on Sunday, October 30.
But if you can’t get there (like most of us) explore the seashore nearest you for amazing finds.
