Coastal Fossil Hunt
Mount pleasant, SC
The Safari
The barrier islands around Charleston Harbor have some of the richest deposits of ancient shark teeth, fossils, sea shells, and colonial artifacts in the country. Join Captain Zach for the day as we venture out to Crab Bank and spend time combing the sands for these relics. Enjoy possible encounters with some unique coastal wildlife like Strand-feeding Dolphins and endangered shorebirds like Least Terns & Wilson’s Plovers. On a good day you can walk away with more than 100 Teeth! Common teeth found belong to ancient Great Whites, Makos, Tiger, Bull, Hammers, and more. You might get lucky enough and find a Megalodon Tooth; it’s been known to happen!

Itinerary
We will meet at the public restrooms of the Shem Creek Boardwalk to board our vessel that will take us to Morris Island. I will be standing in the parking lot to greet you & check you in upon arrival. Our Captain will be there to ferry us to Morris Island, and he will also brief us about what to expect on our hunt. There are restrooms at the boardwalk but not on the island, so be sure to plan accordingly.
