For Families Raising Oceanfolk
At Peggy & The Sea, we believe childhood should be wild, salty, and full of wonder. We're here for the parents who want more outdoors and more nature-filled adventures, the ones raising barefoot explorers, seashell collectors, and future marine biologists.
​
Our sessions blend hands-on ocean play, early marine science, and a healthy dose of mess and magic, all shaped by the seasons and the local surroundings. Built on the pillars of ocean play, marine education, wild childhood, and sun-kissed motherhood, we’re not just filling time. We’re creating childhoods shaped by the sea.

Three Evidence-Backed Benefits of Ocean Exposure for Kids
Boosted Mental Health & Stress Reduction
A global review of 35 studies found a consistent positive association between greater exposure to blue spaces (including oceans) and improved mental health and psychological well-being among young people. (1)
Increased Physical Activity
The same synthesis reported that children with regular access to coastal environments tend to achieve higher levels of physical activity—helping to build cardiovascular health and muscle strength. (2)
Immediate Mood & Vitality Gains
A field study in Barcelona demonstrated that even a brief walk along a beach led to measurable improvements in children’s mood, feelings of vitality, and overall mental health immediately afterwards. (3)
