Shell Beach on Herm consists entirely of millions of tiny shell fragments that make up a fine white sand. These have been deposited by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream that pass the islands. This is my favourite sailing ground. The picture also shows an area of rocks and tiny islets known locally as 'The Humps'. This is a breeding ground for rare sea birds and further out seals can often be seen playing amongst the rocks. This coast of Herm is also populated by Puffins which are always a joy to see. |
