Additional Information

Embark on a guided exploration through the natural heritage of Sardinia Bay Beach, observe the vestiges of ancient shorelines and study the high dune rocks. Witness the survival strategies of marine plants in nutrient-poor soils without liquid sustenance; immerse yourself in the sweeping 220-degree vistas. Survey the tracks and signs of local fauna, descend the eastern staircase to the beach’s extremity, and discover marine life in their rocky sanctuaries alongside damaged mussel colonies. Learn about the influence of wave erosion, evidenced by wave-cut platforms, and decipher wave refraction — the formidable force of aquatic motion. Confront the intricacies of sand ripple formations and unveil the secrets behind the creation and existence of sand dunes. Delve into the cyclical migration of sand grains interwoven with the celestial dance of Earth, the Sun, and the lunar tides. Encounter the Arum lilies, explore the industrial remnants of ancient lime cement production, and examine the skeletal remains of a humpback whale. Grasp the urgency of the global environmental situation we face today. Anticipate encounters with a range of marine wildlife, such as whales, dolphins, seals, sea otters, various seabirds, crustaceans, fish, and look out for signs of terrestrial animals and their activities.

Scenic and Knowledgeable Marine Sanctuary Tour - Beautiful tour of the wind swept beach. Rugged rocky shore line with an expansive beach and large sand dunes. Would be ideal for swimming also in the Summer

Guided Marine Walk Sardina Bay - Guide Dieter - Highly recommended especially for overseas visitors , beautiful beach area and protected marine life, take sandals along as most of the walking is on the beach , no sneakers needed. Dieter know the area very well and shared some very informative information about the marine life , the beaches and the dunes. Put on lots of suntan cream as most of the time you are in the sun. Walk is not too difficult except maybe for when you retunr and need to climb the sand dunes.
