Drive off bound for Coral Bay today, stop at the lighthouse on the way and spot about four whales out to sea. Mark is keen for a surf so we pull up at “the Dunes” not far away, and he spends a happy hour surfing with a few turtles and sees a humpback whale whacking its fin on the surface of the water 100m away from him.
Arrive at Coral Bay and it’s a beautiful place, our park is right opposite the beach. We have bought the kids fins now and they can’t believe the difference, much more confident in the water. With the tide in there is a huge shallow, crystal clear area that is perfect for Charlie to swim in. We see mini sting-rays, a clam, and many other things. There is a “fish feeding” time at 3.30pm and a school of large spangled emporers swim around everyone’s legs to get their feed. Samuel especially, thinks it’s hilarious and opens his legs so they can swim through and brush past. Charlie however, spends the duration in Ella’s arms...
We go on a glass bottom boat tour and are all facinated with the marine life we see. Samuel spots a black tipped reef shark (tour guide said he hadn't seen one in months), also a few trumpetfish, more clams, sea cucumbers and lots of parrotfish. No turtles and still hoping to see a dugong, but we can't be too fussy..
