School holidays – night creatures

Posted: 4th October 2014 by Bethany in Uncategorized

One night, as the kids had napped during the day, we decided to visit the beach at night with our head lamps and glow sticks and run around a bit. To our surprise we discovered these rather large white crabs that Mike later confirmed were ghost crabs. Their bodies were as big as my palm! We had a great time spotting a crab in the distance, running up to it and either getting a close view if it, watching it wriggle back into the depths if the sand or our favorite…..scurrying (sideways of course) towards the sea!

So we revisited the beach a second time on our last night to play with the crabs once more!
