Tiny organisms scuttle under rocks, and the waves lap gently at your feet; all while Ben the labradoodle sniffs out the next discovery.That’s the world of Explore The Shore, a book by Charles and Matthew Griffiths that brings the seashore to life.

Father and son have spent decades exploring the shore, now captured in a book and YouTube video series that reveals the extraordinary hiding in plain sight.

From rock pools teeming with tiny creatures to intertidal zones where the ocean tests even the hardiest organisms, the Griffiths guide readers on a journey full of wonder, humour, and salty surprises.

And Ben provides a touch of playfulness, giving readers permission to have fun and ignite a sense of adventure.

“I often say to people, you pay thousands of rands to go on safari in the Kruger, but there's these super interesting things happening in a rock pool, which you can just walk down and go and see. You can just go down there and you can find all these amazing things and have a little safari on the seashore,” says Matthew.
