When you climb up to Sailing Boat Rock you will be blown away by the brilliant white sand below. It is fascinating to think about, but this beach exists because of the diligent scraping and nibbling away by organisms such as the parrotfish - an average individual of which species may excrete more than 16 kilos of sand in the course of a year's lunching on hard corals.
