On Monday, March 13th the weather was a little warmer...not so windy and a good day for a walk on Hampton Beach. There were tons of seashells from one end of the beach to the other. You can see from the image above, I found some nice driftwood, a huge Dog Whelk (Dogwinkle on the left), and a piece of a Ten Ridged Whelk (a rare find in center of pic), several Tortoiseshell Limpets in front center, and a New England Basket Whelk (next to the little brick piece). I took several photos of clams and other shells which I will include here. It was a great day to go beach combing as you will see! Check out my short video for more images and information. Enjoy!
