Almost empty beach this afternoon won’t be long though before the hoards descend. #HeleBay #NorthDevon

A few paddle boards and kayaks out again today making the most of this gorgeous weather, less hot today but still beautiful #HeleBay #NorthDevon

Something female about the rockpools of Hele Bay, Ifracombe.

Mesmirising pool of Greville Frond (Ulva (Enteromorpha) compressa)?, the domain of an assertive green Shanny.

Don't have a good field guide to seaweeds but am guessing these swaying lovelies are Sea Oak (Halidrys siliquosa)?

Shimmering shoals of Lesser Sand Eels (Ammodytes tobianus) add vibrancy to the crystal clear waters of Hele Bay, Ilfracombe.

Hele Bay, Ilfracombe is Shanny City. One can never have too many Shannies (Lipophrys pholis); with their chameleon colour-changing abilities they are even more gorgeous than the varied underwater rockscapes they inhabit.
