Before I visited this beach I had only seen a live sand dollar once at the beach in Florida. Actually, I accidentally stepped on it while it was still moving. Yes! As you can imagine, I was in utter shock when I saw the difference between the dead and living sand dollars.
Sand Dollar Beach is a very friendly beach. There was a life guard on duty and the people there seemed to be having a good time. Some fire rings were on the beach as well. This mile-long sand beach was fairly clean and spacious.
The weather was hot, C and I couldn't wait to touch the water. There, we saw the first dead half broken sand dollar. (

Unexpectedly, a nice couple who was collecting shells gave us five perfect sand dollars. C and I just couldn't believe what we saw and kept taking pictures! ha..ha. :) Thanks to the couple who made C and me feel very RICH and special!!!
There are many sand dollar beaches in the US and other countries. You may want to try googling it. However, I feel so lucky to have discovered this place.
Cool pix! I want some sand dollars!
