O

Rýchle fakty: Saltwater and freshwater mix in surprising ways at 400 meters long Dumalum Creek. Locals say the creek’s double-layered water feels like swimming in two seas at once.

Zaujímavosti: The creek features a rare natural phenomenon called the halocline, where layers of water with different salinity create a visible, wavy boundary you can swim through. On calm days, sunlight creates shimmering patterns that highlight this divide like an underwater dance floor.

Insiderské tipy

  • Wear water shoes to protect your feet from sharp shells and coral bits.
  • Bring polarized sunglasses to see the splitting water layers more clearly on sunny days.
  • Visit early to avoid crowds and enjoy peaceful swimming.
  • Avoid heavy sunscreen to prevent water pollution; use eco-friendly options instead.
