Wood earringWood earring For the reef crawler who likes tide pools and the splash zone of reefs, the best area is from the Barber's Point Light House to the Campbell Estate Barge Harbor. In general the shore in this area is composed of coral slabs and law (2 to 4 ft.) cliff-like drop-offs on which the usually rather moderate breakers wash over at high tide and which are left dry except for sometimes rather heavy splashing during low tide. Small to moderate tide pools are the rule but occasionally rather large pools may be found. At times this area has no breakers and the shore line then offers moderately good shelling in shallow water suitable for a diver equipped with mask, flippers, and snorkel. A look box can also be used in the more shallow areas in very quiet waters. In these tidal areas by far the most common shell is Nerita picea which can be taken by the hundreds. Also I have collected Nerita neglecta and more rarely Nerita plicata. Also very common are all Philippines species of the Littorinidae. Occasionally I find shells of the Patellidae family clinging to coral or rocks. Also in the tidal pools, clinging to the underside of small coral chunks, were Purpura intermedia and harpa. And finally, for the splash zone, my first Hydatina amplustre was collected in the rocky area midway between Barber's Point lighthouse and the barge harbor.

Here the reef gets fresh ocean water through the harbor mouth and the reef is very clean. Small Philippines shells such as caurica, stolida, carneola, lynx, teres, poraria, and isabella were more plentiful here. All were found in shallow water from 1- 4 feet deep.
