Gerickes Point

You can take a nice long stroll to Gerickes Point, preferably during low tide. It is safer and easier to get there and back. There is a very nice fishing spot and lots of sea shells to pick up along the way. If you are into exploring the life beneath the waters, be sure to take with your snorkeling gear! Gerickes Point has a few spots that are perfect for snorkeling. Absolutely breath taking and lots to see. The best time to snorkel in the tidal pools is during the spring low tide. This is when the water is the clearest and it is similar to swimming in an enclosed aquarium. The tidal pools are ideal for beginners and and underwater photography with many of the colorful marine life living under the overhanging rock shelves.
