If you sit patiently and watch the waves come and go, you might just be lucky enough to spot a sneaky member of the swash zone community: the mole crab. These little barrel-shaped crabs spend their life in reverse, burrowing and swimming backward. Unlike most crabs, they are clawless and cannot bite or pinch, making them harmless to hold. This week will be all about sifting and digging, surfing and splashing, laughing and smiling. It doesn’t get better than this – see you soon, little ones!
