There were ginormous surf clams, mussels, periwinkles, slipper shells, etc. I will post a photo so you can see for yourself : ) So don’t wait for summer to explore the shore - winter is a great time to find shells and enjoy the relative quiet of the beach. It was a great day and I look forward to going back to explore Long Beach again!
On Saturday, December 28th, the temperatures were up around 42 degrees fahrenheit - a great time to head to the shore to do some exploring! We drove out to Long Beach in Plymouth, Massachusetts and walked along it’s lengthy shore. It turned out to be a great day for finding all sorts of shells. There were so many Northern Moon Snails that I actually stopped picking them up! We found three whole sand dollars - two large and one very tiny one. So sweet.
