Get creative and take part in our sand sculpture competition.

Dolphins, whales or starfish whichever is your favourite creature – there will be plenty of tools and help on the day so you don't need to be an expert.

Keith Hitchen, Mayor of Copeland, will be judging the competition along with Paul Sloan, head aquarist at Maryport's Lake District Coast Aquarium, and Catherine Hooper, Cumbria Wildlife Trust's Shore to Sea Project Officer.

Help to make a toy windmill sculpture on the beach, featuring all kinds of marine life such as dolphins and starfish.

Catherine Hooper, Cumbria Wildlife Trust's Shore to Sea Project officer, said: "We are expecting hundreds of people from all over Cumbria and beyond to come along on the day.

"If everyone places just a few of the windmills we are going to have a huge windmill sculpture that will look amazing and we hope that it will make a big impression on all our visitors."

Cumbria-based artist Fiona Clucas, from Sizergh, will be running a clay-modelling workshop for those who want to have a go at something really hands on and artist, Annie Coxey, will be showing how to make felt pictures in her workshop. Children can also get into the marine theme by making masks and pictures with artist, Ruth Castle.

If you are looking for artistic inspiration or just fancy a nice walk, take part in one of the rockpool rambles that will be happening throughout the day. The sea will be at low tide and so on view will be all those creatures usually hidden away such as starfish, whelks, crabs, seaweed, worms and anemones.

The search for marine life will continue on the cliffs with experienced whale-watcher, Sue Hooper. She will be showing people what to look for when searching for the likes of whales and dolphins.
