Scavenger Hunt - Marine Shore Edition - YMCA Beach

Visakhapatnam's rocky shores are home to magical marine creatures hidden in plain sight. On the scavenger hunt, children set-out on an exploration to spot creatures using a bingo sheet. It's a backyard coastal marine safari during the low-tide, where we spot, learn and fall in love with the shore ecosystem.
