  • Sharks teeth

    Have you tried finding sharks teeth? Anywhere along the Venice coast you’re bound to find some, it just takes a little hunting!

    Over the weekend a storm came through so we headed out to look for more shark teeth! This time we tried another beach well known for teeth, Blind Pass Beach on Manasota Key.

    The surf was rough, too rough for the kids to look but James and I managed to scoop in between waves about waste deep and we ended up finding twice as many teeth as our last trip!

    So far we’ve just been using these $5 kids beach nets and a sand dipper tool. It would be nicer to have something with a longer sturdier handle but for now we’ve totally managed with this!

    To find the teeth you don’t have to look anywhere special, just walk in and start scooping! When you go to these beaches the thing I’ve noticed is that no one is really sunbathing, everyone is looking for shark teeth or shells. The beach was not overly crowded at all and we had more than enough room to spread out and search.

    The first thing you notice about Caspersen Beach is the water, it looks extra blue, and the sand is speckled black. That’s because the sand is actually made up of the fossils and minerals of crushed up shark’s teeth! After a quick google search 😅 Millions of years ago when Florida was under water the beaches area filled with sharks, now all that’s left are their fossilized teeth.

    It didn’t take us long to find our first tooth, within the first 10 minutes 🤗 This was our first time going and we will for sure be back! The other cool thing to mention about this beach is the airport is right next door so you get an incredible view of small planes taking off and landing the whole time!

    Have you ever found a shark’s tooth? Where do you like to go? 😎
