Living Coasts is a coastal zoo owned by Paignton Zoo as part of the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust, which includes Newquay Zoo. It is a registered charity, and is based around sea birds and other coastal wildlife.
The site is covered by a giant aviary which includes several animal enclosures and habitats including an artificial tidal estuary, a penguin beach, a tropical mangrove swamp, and a collection of underwater viewing areas.
Living Coasts is Britain's only coastal zoo and a nationally-important discovery centre.
Special shows, extended talks and hands-on events are available throughout the site each day together with large aquarium tanks containing over 20 species and an exciting interactive Discovery Zone.
