Two Harbours Walk - A Walk over a tiny ecosystem
While we were staying in **Jeffreys Bay**, the surf capitol of South Africa, we made a half day trip over to **St. Francis Bay**, a small town not far away.

Whenever we do not know what to do we just scroll over google maps and look out for the green icons that tell us about a hiking trail, a park or any other nature activity. This time we´ve found the **Two Harbours Walk**. Next thing we do is read the comments and what I really liked here is people talking about the opportunity to see a real tiny ecosystem in form of marine life along the walk.

The walk starts at a little car park from where you got a great view onto a beautiful and small protected beach.

It´s only a short walk along the shoreline and through some bushes. I would recommend to go there during low tide which makes it easier to explore the little pools with all the marine life in there.

As soon as you leave the actual path and start climbing over the stones you will discover many tiny pools that were created during high tide. These pools are full of small sea creatures. You just need to look closely and you will find it.

Small fishes, sea snails, sea anemone, corals and even a sea ​​urchin...these are just a few things you can see here. On other days people have seen seals, different kinds of birds and so on. We´ve seen dolphins in the distance but they´re common here and you will most likely see them every day. We´ve seen them surfing waves together with the surfers in Jeffreys Bay the day before.

As you can see, this part of the coast is full of marine life and its worth to open your eyes and check every single pool. Who knows, you might discover something you haven´t seen before.

I did a test this time. Since all the new iPhones are water proof I tried to make an underwater photo by sticking the phone into the pool. 

Although I was still worried it could lead to some water damage the photos turned out quite good and the phone is still working today ;)

The walk over these stones seems to be endless and there are so many pools and so many things to discover that you could fill a whole day with it. But about halfway we turned around and went back to the car.

On the way back we also found a dead fish. It seems to me that it could not make it out with the high tide and died because of too less water. Not sure if this theory makes sense but what else should have killed it.

If you ever happen to be around that area, still got time and don´t know what to do I recommend to go here and discover some marine life on your own. No entry fee, no guides, just pure marine life.
