Sunday Afternoon at Calliloo Bay

Calliloo Bay is a common spot to find an array of tiny shells washed up on the beach. However, after stormy seas larger pieces have been left scattered across the sand.
You can see the weathering these pieces have endured before settling on the beach. Many shells are broken and destroyed from being pummeled against the reef that surrounds a fair amount of the island. Rougher waters will toss the shells over the reef and eventually end up on the beach.
A froathy wave approaches a shell to push it further up the beach.
Hello there! This little guy was trudging along the sand in search for a larger shell to call home. He was a bit shy at first, but after a couple of minutes decided to come out for his "Kodak moment".
In an area further down the beach a lone conch shell had recently been washed up and was now nestled in the sand. In time the sun will bleach out the exterior colors and it will look like so many others deposited here.
