Lots to like at Little Cove

Little Cove is both Grandma and Eli's favourite beach. Grandma likes it because it is usually pretty tame (in terms of surf) and it's also such a beautiful setting. Eli likes it because of the surf (small swell suits him just fine) and the life on the rocks (limpets, chitons and his favourite, the sea squirts). Whenever we go there, Grandma takes photos and Eli and I go in search of life in the rocks (so everyone is happy). On this particular occassion, the swell was bigger than normal (much to the dismay of both Grandma and Eli) and we couldn't even get out to the main rock outcrop where the sea squirts live. We did find a few to 'squirt' closer in, but it's not the same. We also found plenty of limpets and chitons, but they're not exactly active creatures (at least during the day). Still, it was a beautiful afternoon to be at the beach (Grandma took loads of photos).

Here are some of the limpets (left) and chitons (right) that we saw amongst the rocks.













Our exploring done, Eli and I finished off our visit to Little Cove with a run on the beach, a few waves in the surf and then we walked down to Noosa for a gelati! I'd say that would have to be the perfect way to finish off 2012!
