Gardener Bay is a long white coral beach - mineral sandy beach are hot, not coral sand beach and the waters near the shore so turquoise in colour. Here the wet sea lions were best photographed against the white sandy beach. Some were covered in sand making for interesting patterns. Naturally it was the young sea lion pups that were oh so cute and captured the hearts of us all. One had to be careful where to place ones feet as with any animals ... the sea lion excrement was all over the sand.

Videos to be uploaded and photos labelled and re-ordered.
