Shipwreck Beach
There is an interesting place to visit that is about 30-45 mins from our house, it's called Shipwreck Beach. It's a beach, unfortunately littered by lots of trash, that also has 3 wrecked ships on the beach. The reason it's so trashy is because the Japanese use the beach for a dumping ground for trash. Despite the trash it's a pretty neat place. You literally have to drive up a road made of shells to get to the beach. The creepy part is that when the weather starts warming up, as early as April, the shells are COVERED in spiders and you have to walk across them! That is not a part that I enjoy! You can sometimes find floats along this beach and this is where our friends found their Greater Argonaut shell. It is also a great place to find sea glass! This is where we've collected all of ours from. The kids love exploring here. Plus if your into Geocaching there is one hidden here, that is how we first found Shipwreck Beach.

I was thinking of visiting this beach too but when you mentioned spiders *jeepers creepers* no thanks!
I scared my friend half to death the other day because I freaked out when a bug managed to crawl into our van.
Yeah Hazel you'd better skip this one, you'd freak out! Thank goodness for pictures ;)
