Calm beaches

Shallow sea without strong waves: sheltered coves and natural pools at low tide.

For children, a good beach is one with shallow water and no strong waves: sheltered coves, natural pools formed among reefs at low tide, lagoons and river beaches. Buckets, shovels and some shade can occupy an entire morning.
