Sandy Neck, Barnstable, Ma

Ever since I saw this beach from Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary across the bay I have wanted to visit. We finally got out there on a windy Oct. day and found lots of treasures. One unusual find was a fish bone - seemingly from a sun fish that we stumbled upon after finding the bone. I also almost always find little toys that have been left behind. This time it was a little blue dolphin. I think it is the best toy treasure I have ever found while combing a beach! We finally ducked behind a ridge of sand and at the base of the sand dunes to try and get out of the wind to film this short video. Enjoy : D

This is the sunfish carcass that I assume the fish bone belongs too...Sorry if this grosses you out...but I thought it was pretty interesting just the same. Here is a link to a live ocean sun fish (also called a Mola Mola)  video:

In the last video from Town Beach in Sandwich, Massachusetts, I talked about the difference between Smooth Periwinkles and Northern Moon Snails. Here is a photo/close up of them so you can see the difference. You need to look under the shell to see that the Northern Moon Snail has that extra opening called the umbilicus.

Today we walked Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was a wonderful, windy, October day and we found lots of shells on the beach and then ducked down behind the jetty to film this little educational video. Enjoy!
