The chair pontoon on the reef

The girls favourite place to play at Pelican Point is at "the chair". A rustic bench set on a pontoon on the sandy reef.

We spent a fair bit of time there recently, exploring the reef. In the afternoon the water is warm, the rockpools deep enough to swim in. Like a spa.

In the evening, we can see steam rising from the water as the night air cools.

In the morning a sea mist blurred the line between sea and sky on the horizon. The water was a little cooler as the tide rose during the night, bringing in the cold water from beyond the reef.

What a fabulous natural playground!

    1. It was such a relaxing few days we spent in between guests. Was fabulous to be able to have the time to wander with my camera. Loved seeing the pelican turn up, so special to be graced with their presence. Summer crapped herself at first though, he was huge.
