Sandbank are magical. Most of these spots submerge in the high tide and reforms in low tide. That is a natural process to cleanse the sand. Waves and sea currents help wash and polish every grain of sand before rolling to the right position which once complete looks amazing. This process usually takes place once a day and it is not just the surface that gets cleansing, the seasonal erosion functions like a biannual maintenance of the amazing ecosystem.



The hermit crabs and breach crabs have their own responsibilities while living on virgin sandbanks. Tiny particles floated off the reefs gets washed up on the white soft beaches and they are picked up and eaten by the inhabitant crabs. They are actually waiting such things to reach the island. Human beings can’t do the job as efficient as these little creatures.
