Summary:The narrow shoreline at the base of the cliffs in the Wester Cove is a magical, natural playground, expanding and contracting with ocean tides and swells. This shoreline is known as the Rocks, referring to the many rocks of myriad shapes, colors and sizes.

Rows of tidal pools host prized starfish, snails, mussels, sea urchins, crab, lobster and the less favoured blood sucker.
