So on a very warm December day we walked Kalmus Park Beach and it did not disappoint! From one end of the beach to the other you will find piles of Slipper shells and Jingle Shells. You will also find the varied and wonderfully patterned Bay Scallop shells. We found many partial and broken Knobbed Whelks, Northern Moon Snails, Shark's Eye Moon Snails and ribbed Blood Arks. You can see a small selection that I kept in the above photo. It was a marvelous day to be beach combing on Cape Cod! We also filmed this short video - Enjoy!
With all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season it was such a treat to get away for a couple of days and enjoy the joy and peace of the ocean. I have been especially missing Cape Cod, for we have not had a chance to travel there for quite awhile. I specifically wanted to explore the shores of Kalmus Park Beach in Hyannis; which is known for it's abundant seashells.
