    I posted the information on Sand Dollar Beach in post #5 in landscapes, here I am posting the shells and critters we found while walking on the uninhabited 11 mile long beach.

    The largest part of a sand dollar I have ever found on a Florida beach is maybe 25 cents worth:confused:  but here there are lots of large intact ones everywhere:

    And lots of other shells:

    Hi Bob & Nan, thanks for sharing and taking me on a trip down memory lane - I recall having a silver dollar memento from a school field trip, way back when I was a wee one. I used to marvel and wonder about it, turning it over and over. Did you collect any souvenirs?

    Neat little crab! They're fun to watch, the way they scurry about. Nice set. :smile:

    Hi Miko,

    No souvenirs, except the photos and memories, we try to leave it like it is so it will be there when you get there someday.

    Besides, B&H does not accept sand dollars in payment for new gear :wink:
