today at the beach it was a bit wild, once the sun was out it wasn't too cold
waves were crashing, no one else was there, no cars or fishing boats at the marina, no dog walkers, trees along the shore line were uprooted, a fence along the beach was undercut by waves and falling down
the beaches were strewn with sea lettuce, sponges of every colour and shape, so many different kinds of star fish, lots of sea urchins , blobs that I think were sea hares? Few shells
some finds, I think in a few days when the beach clears a bit I will find much more
Really love your beach photos, thank you!
Thank you.
It's an interesting beach, it borders on a nature reserve and there are huge reefs just off shore.
I wish the shells had prettier colours but that's not what Melbourne shells are like, they are all very muted.
that starfish in the photo would have been 40cm across with arms outstretched, it's the biggest starfish I have ever seen
