Denham and Shell Beach

We had decided to visit Shell Beach today, which we had passed on our way to Denham. On the way we stopped off at Eagle Bluff viewpoint. It is situated on a high cliff overlooking the Denham Sound. We walked along the boardwalk hoping to spot turtles, dugong or even sharks. Plenty of fish to be seen but none of the larger creatures we had hoped to see. Another beautiful spot along this stretch of coastline.
We then made our way to Shell Beach. The beach is made up of tiny shells, all from the Fragum cockle. At places the shells are 10 metres deep. The sea there was idyllic, crystal clear and a perfect temperature. The water here is twice as salty as usual sea water - due to high evaporation and limited water flow. As a result floating in the sea was so easy. We were thankful that the many flies in the carpark here did not follow us onto the beach. Some people were wearing fly nets on the beach, but we were quite content without. We were in and out of the sea which was very shallow, and although we walked a long way into the water it was still below knee depth. Back at the campsite we were keen to check our messages on our phone. Kirsty was due to give birth a week ago, so each day we are convinced we will hear news. We only get Internet at the campsite reception, so K regularly plods down there to check. But again no news.Baca lagi
