We stopped at Hamelin Pool, one of the few places on earth to house stromatolites, the oldest living organisms on the planet! From the walkway, we peered into the clear water below at the red and brown rock-like organisms. In the heat of the day, we swam and walked along Shell Beach, a beach made up entirely of small cockle shells. The white shells crunched beneath each step and the water provided a welcomed break from the sun. After a short drive and with a quick maneuver off the main road, we walked atop Eagle Bluff and studied the waters below. Small lemon and nervous sharks patrol the waters. This bay also houses the world's largest known area of sea grass, deep red and brown grass creating a clear color contrast against the turquoise water.
