A walk along inter-tidal zones at Rushikonda Beach in Visakhapatnam is a chance to explore the hidden secrets of the sea.
A curtain of haze covered the sky during the evening low tide, casting Rushikonda Beach in a pall of gray. Along the coast, the rocks rose out of the golden sand, as the receding water lapped gently against the shore. Shaded in monochrome, the landscape almost looked empty; but tucked into the nooks and crannies of the rocky shore was a colourful world bustling with life. Low tide on the Visakhapatnam coast offers a chance to see the hidden secrets of the marine world. The intertidal zones — areas that are uncovered and covered back up during low and hide tides — are entirely different ecosystems, where a multitude of organisms living on the shore survive changes in a world that is constantly oscillating between land and sea.
