A connected coastal landscape
Ndlambe Municipality places Cannon Rocks beside the Greater Addo Elephant Park boundary. SANParks describes its nearby Cannon Trail as moving between coastal forest and beach. Together, those sources explain why the village's natural setting is best understood through both the shoreline and the neighbouring protected area.
SANParks also publishes a broader account of Addo Elephant National Park's geology. That park-wide account provides background to the region; it should not be read as a geological survey of a particular Cannon Rocks site.

Shells and cephalopods
The featured Nautilus and Argonaut article explains why the name “paper nautilus” can be misleading and includes the complete original village article with its existing images.
