A 3 hour seashell tour in horrible weather? Sure! I didn't want a little rain to scare me off. I normally shell a bit longer than 2 hours (accounting for travel time) so I was curious what I would find on just a 3 hour seashell tour hunting for seashells.

Many things occured to me as I was making this video, so in addition to going on a 3 hour seashell tour (luckily I don't get lost at sea like the unfortunate people on the SS Minnow) I am also going to break open a sand dollar to see what's inside as well as talk about why summer shelling isn't as good as winter shelling.

I recently went on a kayak seashell tour and we all know how that worked out. So many goodies I made 2 videos about it! This week we'll be able to review the 3 hour seashell tour in just one video but we have a bunch of other things to discuss!

Come along and see if you too would like to take a 3 hour seashell tour.

I also didn't have time to mention the $5 parking is good for the entire day, so feel free to explore the area after you've been on your seashell tour.
