On WA’s wonderfully wild south coast there are some calm days, and a few truly safe places to bathe or swim.
16 February 2025 was such a day, and the “secret beach” (just east of Anvil Beach) usually offers safe bathing in perfectly reef-sheltered waters.
As evident in the featured image, even on this exceptionally calm day, the ocean-facing side of the reef gave occasional hints of the ocean’s oomph.
This reef is decidedly porous, “honeycombed”, with many little holes.
The atypically “flat” ocean was still pushing enough water over and through the reef to gift bathing humans with a “naturally sparkling”, effervescent, “champagne spa” experience.
