Join us on the beach to learn about the resilient Hooded Plover! Discover how they use camouflage to hide their eggs and chicks. Look for 'hoodie' food amongst the seaweed and see if you can identify potential threats. Best of all, learn how you can help protect them!
We will spend our entire session on the sandy beach, where there is no shade. Please be prepared for any weather condition - hot sun, gusty wind and rain - and wear appropriate shoes and clothing.
It's a good idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, rain jacket and water bottle, and apply sunscreen prior.
There are toilets at Rye Ocean Beach, within a short walk of the car park.
Please note: Rye Ocean Beach car park is off Dundas Street, Rye. Google Maps can sometimes take participants to St Andrews Beach car park off Paradise Drive. Double-check you are being guided to the correct address before leaving home.
All children participating must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is over 18 years of age.
Parks Victoria Community Programs and Events are suitable for families. Activities may be rescheduled,
changed, or cancelled due to adverse weather or for emergency response.
