Treasure Hunt - Beachcombers revel in the booty that winter storms wash ashore
Try Winter Beachcombing at The Beachcomber Motel!
As serious beachcombers know, prime time for finding treasures of the tide is winter and spring, after storms travel throughout the coast, delivering and exposing onto the beaches such finds as fossilized snails, clams, all manner of shells, the occasional Japanese glass fishing float, petrified wood, rainbow assortments of polished gemstones, and much more.

Great blue herons, night herons, kingfishers, osprey, cormorants, ducks, geese, gulls, and migratory birds are commonly seen in the river, on the banks, flying overhead, or perched in the trees.
