Sand dollars off West Gulf Drive<\/p><\/div>\n

I was so surprised to find so many SAND DOLLARS on the beach around West Gulf Drive parking lot #7 (sorry, parking stickers only- but you can get there by bike if you aren’t staying nearby). The water was still pretty rough but I guess not rough enough to break all of the sand dollars. We even found a few more after I took this photo. So happy.<\/p>\n

Joe (Ohio) with sand dollar<\/p><\/div>\n

I saw Joe out on a sand bar looking like he was finding some good treasure. I was right….this afternoon he found a perfect ANGEL WING, some FIGHTING CONCHS, \u00a0a FLAT SCALLOP, WHELKS and this pretty little sand dollar. Cute, huh?<\/p>\n

Flat scallop<\/p><\/div>\n

Clark has been on fire lately out-shelling me. Look at the color on this FLAT! It’s just perfect.<\/p>\n

Broken scotch bonnet<\/p><\/div>\n

Darn! Too bad this SCOTCH BONNET was broken. GRRRR. Well, at least we know they are really out there somewhere. We’ve never found one here but we’re getting closer.<\/p>\n

Ibis birds shelling <\/p><\/div>\n

We ran down to Blind Pass too but didn’t find much. I’ll give Bind Pass\u00a0another shot\u00a0tomorrow but I still think this area around Blue Dolphin Inn<\/a> on West Gulf will be even better tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
