Very low tide at Balnarring Beach, Westernport Bay

These pix were taken at Balnarring Beach, on Westernport Bay, 80 km south of Melbourne, on January 22, 2012.

There was an extraordinarily low tide, exposing magnificent reefs and rockpools.

My visit was a 4 km return baach-hike, to the adjacent beach of Merricks.

There was plenty of action, with many visitors exploring the rockpools!

A strange Sea Beast emerged from the ocean, wearing a large hat!
