Oh my. I would be freaking out. I would have to have a wagon. I. Heaven I used to live in EI, but we moved back to WV to be with our kids. I'm so envious. I make sea shell crafts and now I can't just go out my front door and go hunting.

Love the driftwood pieces ! Also …. as a fisherman myself ( I caught my first ever Striper from the Plum Island beach in front of Camp Sea Haven when I worked there ) ….. be careful handling the sand worms ! They have a set of pinchers in their mouth and can inflict a bite if handled improperly ! Cheers Ladies ! 👍🤗

Yes! Let us know if and when you want to visit and we can tell you where the best spots are to hunt and if the timing works out we would love to take you along with us.

Awesome day! I didn’t have as much luck with the shells, but I found 126 pieces of seaglass 3 days after the nor’easter which is unheard of round here. I’m lucky to find 5-10 in a shell hunt.

[@Kim-jg6nr]

I love to collect seaglass. I love when I find pieces with markings on them that I can use to identify. I found quite a few very old and unique pieces.

[@saraclark8611]

@@PlumIslandSeaCabin stupid question of the day and here it goes! Are the sand dollars found on Plum island the same species of sand dollars on the Oregon coast? I should probably just Google it instead of embarrassing myself 😂😂😂but what the heck!

[@PlumIslandSeaCabin]

Hi Sara! The Oregon coast sand dollars are different from the sand dollars we find here on PI. The Oregon species is an eccentric sand dollar and the petaloid is located at the bottom. The PI sand dollar is a common and the petaloid is located in the center. Neither have keyholes (lanules) like the sand dollars you find in the south. The eccentric dollar is definitely on my bucket list - hope to find one someday!!

Do you get shells, sea glass , etc?

[@PlumIslandSeaCabin]

Hi! A shell hunt is $150 which includes the shells from the day's hunt, a Plum Island Sea Cabin t-shirt & shell bag and of course a shout out on the video. I don't post a shell hunt every week though. Only when the weather conditions are just right - weather patterns, storm, surf, etc. I do it this way because it almost guarantees that you receive a boat load of wonderful shells!
