This educational film follows two children, Betty and Billy, as they spend an adventurous day exploring the beach with their knowledgeable friend, Mr. Boon. Throughout their journey, they encounter a variety of coastal wildlife, including sandpipers, pelicans, and seagulls. Under Mr. Boon’s guidance, they learn about maritime safety features like lighthouses and buoys, observe the mechanics of the incoming tide, and examine different types of seashells and marine life such as whelks, starfish, and horseshoe crabs. The excursion concludes at a pier, where the children purchase fresh fish for dinner, providing a firsthand look at the local fishing industry before witnessing the tide successfully float a rowboat left on the sand.
