Visitors to the island often ask about "the best place to find seashells." And it's always difficult to give a satisfactory answer. "After a storm," is probably the best advice. Or "at low tide." Or "on one of the more secluded sections of the beach."
"In the off-season," is another honest answer to the question. A few days ago I was taking my daily afternoon walk when I spotted this whelk that had just washed up on the beach.
Ocracokers would call this a left handed whelk. To find out why, click here:
