5 Reasons You Need the Ocean Lover’s Guide in Your Life!

Written By Rachael Farrar

The Ocean Lover’s Guide was created out of an overwhelming love for our oceans. The goal was always to spread joy, and to encourage people to get out there exploring our shores. Not only was it created to form more connections with the ocean, it was also to educate on the incredible marine life we have right here in the UK. There’s always going to be magic surrounding travelling abroad to tropical waters, but we truly do have so many extraordinary species right here in the UK. The Ocean Lover’s Guide is the adventure companion you need to get out there and find it! Still need convincing? Well, here’s 5 reasons I think you need the Ocean Lover’s Guide in your life (and no i’m not biased…)

  1. It’s the best ocean adventure companion you’ll find

    I’m not joking when I say she’s the best adventure companion around, who else is going to educate you on marine life in a fun and engaging way, with colourful illustrations and note areas? No one that’s who! The Ocean Lover’s Guide really is set out for seaside adventures. The book is split into four sections based completely around ocean activities. In the book you’ll find, rock pooling, beach combing, snorkelling and in the deep (for those big offshore adventures).

  2. You can tick off every species you find and have your own treasure hunt

    One thing that really sets this book apart is how interactive it is. The goal of the Ocean Lover’s Guide was to enable you to connect to the ocean in a fun and engaging way. By adding the species spotter it means you can turn every beach trip into one giant treasure hunt, ticking off all the wonderful species you find. And who doesn’t love a treasure hunt? Yes, even adults! It will also help add to the fun of every beach trip or ocean snorkel, because you're never going to see all those species at once (unless you have some incredible amount of luck!) Which means each time you head out you’ll have a special species in mind that you're hoping to see.

  3. She looks so cute with all of your outfits…

    Okay, this is a bit of silly one… but what I do mean is it’s full of vibrant and colourful illustrations. Each species is depicted in intricate watercolour paintings meaning every creature will truly come alive on the page. Plus, that cover is insanely cute which means if your like me and like to wear everything ocean themed, it really will match your outfits.

4. You’ll be able to identify every shell or species you find along the beach

Beach combing is something many of us remember doing as little kids, but the joy of finding a beautiful shell on the shoreline never really goes away. Do you ever pick up a shell and wonder what it’s called? Or even wonder what species may have called that shell home? Well, with the Ocean Lover’s Guide you won’t ever have to wonder on what a shell is called ever again. Or if you are out exploring the rock pools and come across a little creature and aren’t sure what it is, this guide will help you identify it… and even give you note areas to write down tips to help you find that species again!

5. There’s over 200 pages of incredible species, facts and lots of space to scribble your own notes

This guide really is FULL of species facts and tips, there is always going to be a species you want to find or read up on and this guide will always be there to help. Plus, like mentioned above what really sets this guide apart is how interactive it is. No-ones ocean adventure is the same so why should your guide be? That’s why this book is full of notes, sketching pages and the species spotter so you can truly make the guide your own. It also means it will become a key place to hold all those special ocean memories.

This book really is for every ocean lover, always follow the magic of the sea… and if you take the Ocean Lover’s Guide along with you, take me in your adventures as i’d love to see!
