Intertidal Walk at Havelock Island
About the Activity
When the tide recedes, adventure begins! A receding tide opens up new walking areas into the sea, allowing us to walk to the rich areas of a beach. Here, you get to see corals (you practically walk on them!), loads of fishes, sea urchins, crabs, sponges, starfishes, snails and even shrimps, octopuses and sea snakes occasionally.
You’re likely to see this phenomenon of receding tides at most of the beaches in Havelock Island. And this is a great way to see marine life up close without getting drenched. We make sure to take you on the best time possible so as to enhance your intertidal walk experience.
