Cracks and crevices

Rock platforms are divided by cracks of varying sizes, forming along the rock's weak points.

These cracks offer shade and moisture during low tide.

Marine life

Marine life in this area comprises sea anemones, crabs, black nerites, limpets, sea stars, and the mulberry oyster borer.
