A beautiful and large shell on the beach of Tortola

Una bella e grande conchiglia sulla spiaggia di Tortola

A beautiful and large shell on the beach of Tortola.
Walking along the long beach of Longa Bay Beach, on the Caribbean island of Tortola, I came across this beautiful shell on the shoreline.
I admit that I also added the piece of coral and the seaweed that were not so close to the shell!
This is also the Caribbean.

In Molluscs, the shell has different shapes depending on the class to which the animal belongs. It is composed of inorganic constituents such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) that the animals extract from sea water and which are integrated with organic substances (usually a set of complex proteins secreted by the mantle).

Dream Beaches: Long Bay in Tortola

Dream beaches: Long Bay in Tortola.
For the second time in my life I come to this beautiful Caribbean beach located on the small island called Beef Island (beach of the steers) connected to the larger and more famous island of Tortola.
The sea was a little rougher than last time but the colors... those are still the dream colors of the Caribbean.
A 700 meter beach very busy but that however, in the part that goes towards the airport, still has a bit of the charm of the uncontaminated.

Mare da sogno: Lambert Bay a Tortola

Mare da sogno: Lambert Bay a Tortola.
Se cercate una spiaggia nell’isola di Tortola, tranquilla e spettacolare, allora dovete venire qui.
Vi ho già postato alcune foto di questo luogo spettacolo.
C’è anche un bel resort (anzi c’è solo quello) e per poter andare in spiaggia bisogna entrarvi (gratuitamente).
State attenti alle onde però perché ci hanno detto che il mare è sempre un poco mosso qui.

Un pellicano sulla spiaggia di Lambert Bay

Un pellicano sulla spiaggia di Lambert Bay.
Uno dei simboli dei caraibi, oltre ovviamente alle spiagge, è il pellicano, uccello che spesso abita le coste delle piccole isole.
Questa foto infatti, l’ho scattata in una spiaggia di Tortola, e questo animale sembrava quasi farsi avvicinare per scattare la foto.
Purtroppo non avevo con me il teleobiettivo e dovete accontentarvi di una immagine un pochino lontana.

Dream Beaches: Lambert Bay in Tortola

Dream beaches: Lambert Bay in Tortola.
One of the most beautiful and pristine beaches on the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands of the Caribbean.
There is only one splendid resort on this very natural and rarely visited beach. We understood that the sea is often rough in this small bay and in fact there are several warning signs for swimming.
Obviously they did not stop us and we enjoyed a couple of hours of relaxation in the Caribbean sun.

Conchiglia e sabbia a Lambert Bay

Conchiglia e sabbia a Lambert Bay.
Una conchiglietta adagiata sulla sabbia creata anch’essa da minuscoli frammenti di altre conchiglie.
Questa e’ la composizione di molte spiagge tropicali che si formano dal rompersi di conchiglie, dai coralli rotti e mangiati dai pesci e dal calcare di cui sono composte alcune isole piu’ grandi.
Questa era la sabbia di una delle spiagge (Lambert Bay) di Tortola nelle Virgin British Islands.

Nei Molluschi la conchiglia ha forma varia a seconda delle Classi. È composta da costituenti inorganici come il carbonato di calcio (CaCO3) o il fosfato di calcio (Ca3(PO4)2) che gli animali estraggono dall’acqua di mare e che vengono integrati da sostanze organiche (solitamente un insieme di proteine complesse secrete dal mantello).

Spiagge da sogno: Brewers Bay a Tortola

Spiagge da sogno: Brewers Bay a Tortola.
Nell’isola di Tortola, nelle Virgin British Islands, ci sono diverse spiagge che meritano di essere viste.
Vi ho gia’ segnalato Long Bay Beach. Questa invece e’ la piu’ remota, naturalisticamente parlando, Brewers.
Pochi turisti, spiaggia di sabbia bianca (ma non bianchissima). Acqua azzurra e un po’ di barriera corallina facile da esplorare.
Una caratteristica ulteriore di questa spiaggia sono i molti pellicani che si lanciano in rapidi tuffi nell’acqua per pescare qualche pesciolino. E lo fanno a pochi metri dalle persone.
Spiaggia splendida e da visitare assolutamente!

Vista di una spiaggia Caraibica

Vista di una spiaggia Caraibica.
Questa foto, scattata dalle alture dell’isola di Tortola, nelle Virgin Brithish Island, dovrebbe mostrare la splendida baia di Josiah’s Bay.
Un paradiso in terra (come Long Bay Beach di cui vi ho scritto in un altro post).
Il verde delle colline (a volte montagne) che entra nelle acque turchesi del mare dei Caraibi.

Mare da sogno: onda caraibica a Tortola

Mare da sogno: onda caraibica a Tortola.
Una foto che racchiude il mare dei Caraibi: sabbia bianca o dorata e acque limpide o turchesi.
Qui, in particolare, ero a Tortola (Virgin British Island) nella spiaggia di Long Bay beach.
Ho rischiato quasi la mia macchinetta fotografica per scattare questa foto perche’ l’onda si e’ franta talmente velocemente che gli spruzzi hanno quasi sommerso la mia piccola Canon.

Dream Beaches: Long Bay Beach in Tortola

Long Bay beach in Tortola.
One of the most beautiful beaches I have seen up to this point in my Caribbean season with the Costa Magica is definitely this one in Tortola.
Few people, very white sand and clear water.
A chiringuito that prepared excellent pinacoladas in the background and lots of sun.
About 15 kilometers from the port (not very close for our crew member parameters) absolutely to see and see again!
