Flatts Inlet, Bermuda. The island is known for its pink sand beaches and vibrant torquoise hues of the ocean. Land and sea intersect through Flatts Inlet, serving as the gateway to the enclosed Harrington Sound. Powerful tidal currents sweep through the inlet and the inner Harrington Sound (lower right) experiences only 35% of the surrounding tides with a 3 hour delay. However only half of the sounds tidal flow moves thorugh the inlet. The other half passes through miles of underwater limestone caves ridded across the narrow strips of land separating the sound from the ocean. Spotted eagle rays feed on clams inside the sound and can often be seen travelling through the inles, occasional waiting outside for a favorable tide. They are unable to swim against the tide through the choke point during the strongest tides. Shot from a small plane.
