Site Description: The site is a patellobarnacle dominated rock ridge shore, with Ulva (originally recorded as Enteromorpha) and Porphyra overlying the limpets and barnacles on the seaward, more gently sloping faces of the ridges. There are many rock ridge pools and wide shallow rock pools. The mid-tide region (zone 2) is very wide. There are large boulders scattered between some of the mid shore ridges and the lower shore is dominated by large boulders, although rounded rock ridges are also present at this level.
