The Crab and The Sunset<\/p><\/div>\n

The larger shells are coming back in around West Gulf Drive…finally! We found plenty of FIGHTING CONCHS, a few LIGHTNING WHELKS and BANDED TULIPS….but how about that crazy CRAB! He was running back and forth in the surf and then stopped to check me out.<\/p>\n

All of these were found on the beach off West Gulf Drive around beach access #7.<\/span><\/p>\n
