St Francis Bay

A colourful shell found on the coast of South Africa, reportedly from either St Francis Bay or False Bay, is drawing attention from nature and photography enthusiasts. The image, shared with tags for shells, photography and the ocean, highlights the variety of marine life washed up along the country's shores.

A beachcomber says they found an empty seashell on the South African coast but cannot remember whether it was in St Francis Bay or False Bay. They joked about it with a tongue-twister-style line, 'She sells empty sea shells, lost in the ocean', riffing on the classic nursery rhyme and a play on Sia's song title.
