Wembury Marine Centre

Wembury in south Devon is a wildlife magnet. Its rocky cliffs are home to nesting sea birds, while a rocky shore, slate reefs and massive wave-cut rock platforms provide one of the UK's best spots for marine plants and animals.

Wembury and the surrounding coastline form a Voluntary Marine Conservation Area (VMCA) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). These go some way to shielding it from the human pressures.

The newly refurbished Wembury Marine Centre is the ideal place to learn about the surrounding area and its wildlife through interactive displays, aquaria and regular rockpool rambles. The Centre also explains the part you can play in keeping Wembury special. Admission is free.

Wembury Marine Centre is currently closed for the winter, we open again in March 2008.
