The Jungle

The jungle off Shipwreck Beach is dense and lush, populated with a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles… arthropods. A small salt-water lagoon sits just inside the sea cliff beyond the berm. Coconut Palms, Breadfruit trees, Screw pines, Hala, and Acacia Koa trees proliferate here. It’s a dark, mysterious jungle, and is seldom explored by the locals. Bird calls fill the air, and the sound of the waves breaking on the shore create a discordant but soothing natural soundscape. The scent of the damp, musky jungle mingles with the salty sea aroma from the beach.
