GREAT trip!
4 Hour Trip – Shelling Adventure on June 21, 20251 adult4 children

My kids and I LOVED it. Captain Edwards was very knowledgeable on the area and took us to some amazing spots. We found some awesome shells, shark teeth, and a lot of awesome creatures along the way. I would highly recommend this trip and I think we will be doing it again next time we visit.
