On this beach there is
no sand, only shells!
Here millions of small
white Coquina Shells have accumulated over time to create this unique
environment. It is estimated that in some spots the shells are 10m deep. The
beach stretches for over 120km around L’Haridon Bight.
Coquina limestone is a
natural composite of calcite crystals and shell. Many of Shark Bay’s historical
buildings used blocks of this in their construction.
A beach of shells is really rather unique! It does hurt your bare feet a bit though!
