Rock Pools Sea life, small patches of white beaches
Low tide offers time to explore rock pools, witnessing crabs, anemones, urchins, mermaids purse (shark eggs), crabs, starfish and lots of different types of seaweed. Life in the pools, no need to snorkel, let me show you what I saw...
Photography is above the water indicating how clean the seas are being able to capture from above without any special camera gear.

Diving in trying to find a mermaid or some small life to capture in a pic, the tiny fish as too swift, crabs scuttled into hiding had no luck there either today.
Colours playing beneath the surface, what a delightful place to learn about nature, tiny fish darting around at high speed too fast for me to capture before going into hiding in between the pinks and green life in beach pools.
Squiltchy green whatever they are squirt out air when trapped under water, soft to touch, walking on tip toes to avoid damaging these delicate blossoms of the sea.
Beach pool fascination captures the mind as to what life lies below the waves, a life most of us will never have the privilage of witnessing, make the most of great days on the beach when tides recede revealing a luxury abundant life.
Looking out onto the edge of where the rocks drop suddenly, little sandy beaches appear every so often, you could swim if you wished bearing in mind none of this area is protected, so whatever you do treat nature with respect.
After a few hours of enjoying the tidal pools, hidden little beaches, abundant sea life entertaining you, the tide starts to turn, capturing a last splash before continuing with the journey, hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at what South African beaches offer.
