After a wet landing onto a gentle sloping sandy beach, we walked the short distance to the beach on the opposite side , but there was little to se, although there was meant to be "a good chance of seeing long-tailed tropicbirds, terns, oystercatches and osprey nests". Chris enjoyed swimmng on the original beach
