This was a sandy beach six months ago. You can see that the rocks in the foreground have recently been exposed as the sand has been washed away. Water levels seem to be higher than they were last year. No one really knows why and the locals say this has never happened before.
Mettam's Pool was once a sandy beach and a sheltered rock pool, well protected from shark intrusion. The area has long been a favourite safe swimming spot for children and oldies. Now just getting into the water is becoming treacherous.
I will revisit in November, at the end of our winter, to see how the sand is faring.
