Detailed programme
The walk begins on La Badine beach and continues to the rocks at Estanci beach. Children wade through the water to discover a miniature marine world, full of shells, crustaceans and starfish.
Throughout the walk, Fernando Sandoval shares his knowledge of the coastal flora and fauna. Direct observation helps participants gain a better understanding of the species present, their environment and the steps we can take to protect them. The tour also covers coastal flora, which is sometimes inconspicuous but essential to the site’s ecological balance.
Designed for families, the outing encourages interaction and limits the number of accompanying adults to ensure an experience tailored to children.
