So you want to know how to go crabbing? Going crabbing is one of my favourite things to do with the kids when we go to the coast. It’s lots of fun and gets the kids up close and personal with nature. And it’s also a kids’ seaside activity that can be done at any time of year and in any weather. Which can be useful on a British summer holiday…
If you’ve never been crabbing before, or have only gone crab fishing as a child, this guide will teach you everything you need to know about how to go crabbing. It’s really, really easy, and SO MUCH FUN!
while crab fishing is fascinating and fun, it also sets a low bar for required skills. It is suitable for any age, with proper supervision.

The seas around the UK have the potential to be amongst the most productive and wildlife-rich on earth. Hidden beneath the surface are landscapes every bit as varied and beautiful as those we see on land, with undersea cliffs, caves, chasms, mountains, dunes and plains. But it is not until the waves have retreated and the tide is low that we get a glimpse of this mysterious world and the weird and wonderful wildlife that inhabits it.
