Very stylish home for this small hermit crab.
We visited Half Moon Bay yesterday. It is quite unique because you can walk out to pretty interesting tide pools at low tide. Sea anemones, lots of shellfish, crabs, live coral, all accessible without diving or snorkeling. Unfortunately, the harbor seals staked out their position near the best tide pools. Harbor seals are protected on this beach and you are supposed to stay 300 ft away.
At high tide, the ocean will cover this beach almost all the way to the bluffs.
