Coastal Foraging Walk – Seaweed and Coastal Vegetables
Join us for a coastal foraging walk to explore the unique world of edible seaweeds and coastal plants that thrive in this rugged habitat.
- Booking essential
Discover the wild flavours of the Isle of Wight’s coastline on a two-hour guided foraging walk at Watershoot Bay – one of the island’s most dramatic and untouched coastal landscapes.
In collaboration with Field Studies and led by expert forager Joseph, this immersive experience explores the edible seaweeds and hardy coastal plants that thrive in this rugged shoreline habitat. As the tide recedes, you’ll be introduced to the surprising tastes of the coast – from delicious invasive seaweeds to resilient native plants – and learn how to identify them safely and sustainably.
Along the way, Joseph will share traditional uses, recipes, and folklore connected to these wild ingredients, offering practical tips for bringing coastal foraging into your everyday life.
This relaxed walk is ideal for beginners and anyone curious about wild food. It’s a chance to connect with the sea, deepen your understanding of the coastal ecosystem, and enjoy the raw beauty of one of the island’s hidden gems.
