Discover the skeletons of sand dollars on a beach walk – they look just like coins.

What you can experience here

At low tide you have the chance to look for sand dollars. Sand dollars belong to the class of sea urchins, which live along shallow sandy shores. In the sand you will find their skeletons, which look like old coins. Then walk to the north end of the bay and explore the rock pools. Here you can search for starfish and barnacles.
