Bonfire beaches shelling fishing adventures to home. From the bonfire life of a firefighter to the tropical world of beaches and shells we bring you sun, sand, home projects and the best of the seashore and sea.
I found this cool beach leprechaun celebrating St Patrick's Day on the beach and I found some beach treasure too including some Shamrock green sea glass.
Everything is a pot of gold on the beach. The ocean that stretches to somewhere beyond somewhere else in the world. The sky above. The sand below. Sunny or cloudy, treasures at the seashore are waiting for you there every day. Happy St. Patrick's Day To All Of My Irish Friends and all of My Non Irish Friends too!
I had no idea I would find anything like this on the beach and in all fairness, I had no idea what these were when I first found them I just thought it was awesome looking and had to find out more. I brought it home and cleaned it up and it turns out I found an awesome whale bone vertebrae what's the chances.
This whale fossil could be hundreds of years old who knows. Just when you thought you figured out the beach, you learn quickly - you can never figure out the beach, the ocean or change the tide of the sea.
Whale bones I found on the beach still leave me amazed at how big the ocean world is, how old and how diverse. I love finding beach treasures. Always searching for some great seashells, pieces of old treasures like boats, sea glass and some other great unknowns that was ashore. But whale bones! This treasure I did not expect.
The ocean waves were serious the last few days. Even low tide was rocking the beach and covering most of the sand with every wave washing up with it plenty of shells and strong enough to move the beach rocks on some of the beaches (more about that later).
To be honest, I had no idea when I spotted this pretty amazing looking specimen on the beach what exactly it could be. I just knew it was like nothing I had ever seen before and anything you find on the beach, is some kind of crazy treasure. I cleaned it up and started my google research and before long I was able to easily figure out this is for sure a whale bone vertebrae fossil.
Maybe it was the winter storms that were raging to the North of us that helped send this whale fossil my way, or maybe it's been dislodged from an old whale graveyard from hundreds of years ago and just found it's way to land now. Whichever it is, I feel pretty honored it chose to share this find with me.
Seashell treasures are at every beach around the world but I'm happy to explore my beaches for seashells and treasures every chance I get. I admit I was in awe when I looked behind me as I walked along the ocean's edge, where I had just been before a big wave hit the sand and saw this beautiful Murex seashell freshly washed from the ocean to me.
This perfectly whole Murex shell could be 100's of years old. I'm not sure how I would ever know but imagine where it's come from and where it's traveled to. I think all of the shells I find on the beach are awesome but some are an even greater treasure than others.
I'm very happy to keep this amazing seashell safe and sound with me in it's new home.
Anytime I'm lucky enough to get to the beach I can't help but search for new treasures. Shells of every size and shape fascinate me. Millions of sea shells millions of years old I love new and different safe relaxing adventures and every visit to every beach is always a new wave of fun
