The intertidal zone of Currumbin Creek Estuary Beree Badalla is alive with crabs. It can also be a stark graveyard when the tide recedes where the gnarled aerial roots of the mangroves rear out of the mud.

The sky lightens as the storm moves north up the Gold Coast and waves run up Currumbin Beach to reflect the light.
Regular visitor to Beree-Badalla in the Currumbin Creek Estuary Egretta garzetta flies across the creek from side to side searching for schools of small fish and crustaceans. Early morning ebb tides are the best times to see them.
Visitors could enter Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island in two different ways: on land via the Torii gate on the shoreline now typically used by tourists; or via the vermilion Torii 'floating' gate in the sea. At low tide both the shrine and the latter gate emerge completely from the sea allowing access on foot. Lines of visitors can be seen along the shore pathways.

From forest to the mudflats of Nehalem Bay Estuary, along the northern coast of Oregon. Right around sunset on a December eve.

Portwrinkle is a small coastal village in south-east Cornwall. It is at the western end of Whitsand Bay. It was traditionally a fishing village and the old 17th century walls of the pilchard cellars are still standing, although they have been incorporated into housing. The village has a harbour, and two beaches are accessible from it.
