3. Finding Cool Stuff At the Inlet

Cherry Grove Beach is the Northern-most beach in South Carolina.  At the tip of the beach is an inlet, and across the inlet is Sunset Beach, North Carolina.  Once every day while we're on vacation, we walk to the end of the beach - nets in tow - and go treasure-hunting at low tide to see what we can find.  

In the below pictures, we are standing in South Carolina, the water behind us is the inlet, and the beach seen in the background is North Carolina.  It's a pretty cool place to be.

We're never disappointed in what we find.  Here were some of our treasures last week. (Live things were thrown back.)

 A Sea Urchin and a Shark's Tooth:
