Lihou causeway

Lihou causeway
Lihou Island lies off Guernsey's west coast. It is connected to L'Erée headland (seen here with Fort Saumarez) via a causeway accessible at (very) low tide. It is essential to observe the causeway opening times to avoid getting stranded on Lihou, because once the water gets ankle high it is too dangerous to cross.

Life in the tide zone: orange- breadcrumb sponge (halichondria panicea) / dark red jelly blobs- beadlet anemone (actinia equina). 20060910-IMG 0003
The mauve stuff is an encrusting seaweed of the lithophyllum or lithothamnium species.

Vielen Dank, Lothar! Das orangerote ist ein Schwamm, das fliederfarbene eine Alge:-) Ich hatte mir vor Ort ein kleines Büchlein dazu gekauft;-)

Like the hike to Dungeness Spit lighthouse off the Strait of Juan de Fuca--better check the tide tables first! ;)

Absolutely, with spring tides up to 15m high this is a must;-) Sometimes the causeway is closed for days on end...
