Wandering the tidal zone looking for treasures.
Sand dollars, seashells and even shark teeth all are common finds that wash up on the sands of Corpus Christi area beaches. For opportune results, immediately hit the beach after a heavy rain or wind storm. If you’re hunting shark teeth, the Port Aransas South Jetty is especially renowned for its finds.
San Jose Island, which is only reachable by ferry, and Mustang Island State Park also are known for the tons of treasure you will find at your feet as you stroll the sand and the surf.
By the way, if you find a purple or green sand dollar, throw it back in the water. It’s still alive!
