The much-loved headland at Shelly Beach is transformed into a gentle sea turtle, its shell covered in bushland and its head emerging from the sea beside the sand, umbrellas and a paraglider drifting overhead. Beneath the surface, a dolphin, a shark and a playful cuttlefish share the clear turquoise reef with a scattering of colourful fish.
This original coastal artwork blends one of Manly's best-loved beaches with an imaginative twist, turning the landscape itself into a creature of the sea.
