Jet skis are the bane of the coast, because of the unrelenting noise they produce and because of the irresponsible behaviour of some who put others at risk.
At last humans are returning to coastal waters, but in their absence there have been huge but innocuous sharks, as well as this spectacular visitors, dolphins.
In the last two months five creatures, amongst them three dolphins, have appeared dead on the beaches of Costa Tropical. The other two were a turtle and a shark.
You know that you’re living somewhere special when you see dolphins swimming just off your beach: here’s a video from Salobreña.
Many of us have been lucky to see dolphin along our coast, and some may remember the 1960’s TV series called Flipper. Well, if certain media sources are to be believed, your next encounter with a dolphin could prove fatal!
The Ukrainian Navy allegedly trained several dolphins to seek out mines, submarines and even to kill, with weapons attached to their heads. So, next time you see a friendly looking porpoise swimming just offshore, give it a wide berth!
It doesn’t matter if you live in our beautiful area or even if you’re just visiting, one of the most delightful ways of seeing the coastline is by boat, and thanks to the guys at Suki Sailing, it’s doesn’t cost the earth.
