Seabrook, Ma, Hampton Harbor Inlet

8/31/2015

August 31st
A peaceful 90 degree day spent at Hampton Beach, in New Hampshire. The ocean was sparkling, calm, and clear. Refreshing swimming at 68 degrees; a perfect day. At sunset we walked the Seabrook, Ma side of the Hampton Harbor Inlet to shoot this video of the seashells we found there. You can hear cars going over the metal drawbridge section of Mile Bridge (Rte. 1A) in the background.

These Periwinkles and Dogwinkles (also called Dog Whelks) were hard to see in the last video post so here you can take a closer look!

Here are examples of the beautiful Northern Moon Snail shells. I picked up a lot of partial shells - mostly the top half so that I can use them in crafts. It is a good idea to leave some whole Moon Snails on the beach for Hermit Crabs. They need a home too!

Angel Wings & Ribbed Pods

In the last video from Hampton Beach - I had these shells in an Altoid case for protection. It is hard to get a good look at them in the video so I photographed them here so you can see them "up close". These False Angels Wings are small - the larger one being an inch and a half.

This is a Ribbed Pod - also called the Atlantic Razor Clam. These shells are delicate and break easily as you can see from one side of the bivalve. The Ribbed Pod is 2 and half inches long. Blue Mussels are on the right. They typically have stronger shells and can be kept in your beach pail or a pocket!
