Sea foam near the Sand Engine!
Algae (microscopic small plants) live in the sea and foam algae is the cause of sea foam. When the colony of foam algae dies, protein is released which is then whipped up by the waves. Like milk from a cappuccino. The amount of foam can be enormous, especially in the spring.
