Back in January, on a warmish day, we went to Sandwich to enjoy a scone at The Dunbar House and have a nice walk on the nearby beach. As always, lunch at the Dunbar was wonderful. I just love it there; it is such a treat! Then we made our way over to Boardwalk beach and enjoyed an excellent beach combing afternoon.
We walked both Footbridge beach (Boardwalk beach) and the adjoining Town Beach. As you can see in the image above we found lots of great treasures! An old fishing lure, False Angel Wings, Blood Arks, an Oyster Drill, Jingle shells, Scallop shells, a small Surf Clam, a Gould's Pandora, a Northern Moon Snail Operculum, Fish bones, a Mermaid's purse (egg casing for a skate), a piece of Sea Scallop, a piece of coral, Slipper shells, driftwood, stones, and a piece of jaw bone from what - I do not know.
There were also tons of large Northern Moon Snails, Blue and Horse Mussels, and various Crab carapaces and claws. We shot a short video of some of the shells and a nice pan of the beach. Not long after we shot this video, winter storms tore this fence out and eroded the dunes. Here is the video:

And below is a photo of a Lady Crab, which has such an interesting carapace (shell). I just love that leopard like pattern.
