Jekyll Island beach. 56 K warning, 19 High res pictures.

[red_wall]

Me and the girlfriend went to Jekyll Island for the afternoon, we got there at low tide and saw critters galore!



There were a lot of dead shrimp and crabs all along the beach
There were hundreds (literally) of sea cucumbers along the shore, mating (or something)
It was WAY low tide and the girlfriend and I went a-poking sea cucumbers (I'm pretty sure that's what they were)
We saw: Sea cucumber, dead crabs, dead shrimp, and weird worm things poking out of the ground.

I had SO much fun.
I want to visit a tide pool some day haha

My mom told me they were skate eggs.

My girlfriends dad said they taste good :headshake2:
But people actually eat them cooked.


** looked up skate eggs, definitely not.

They're snail egg casings, google "knobbed whelk eggs" .
