We are back on Plum Island! Florida was amazingly awesome, but just like any long trip, it's nice to come home. And what a welcome home! If you love the Plum Island Extra Large Moon Shells - today's episode is for you! ❤✌ Today's shell adventure - after hitting the beaches of Sanibel Island, this is our 1st adventure back on Plum Island! We are excited to explore Bar Head and the jetty rocks are loaded with shells! Shells, shells, shells - so many shells! We had to flip over large barnacle covered rocks, chip away at shell debris and put some elbow grease and effort into our shelling today, but it was well worth it! We hit a MASSIVE MOON SCORE and the colors were some of the best I've ever seen! Total *moon swoon* today. One of my favorite finds of today was a cute little comb jelly that we relocated back to the water. A fun and interesting find for sure! Thank you for watching and subscribing!

❤✌ Visiting Plum Island Massachusetts ❤✌

Most IMPORTANT thing 1st: All of the really great shells I find in my videos are inside the Parker River Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is closing 99.9% of the beaches from April 1st 2022 to August 2022 in an effort to protect the Piping Plover nests. Piping Plovers are endangered and the beaches are closed in an effort to help raise the plover population. When the beaches close, there is no beach access. The 1st gate will remain open, but it's not good for shelling. At the very end of the refuge (after gate 7) there are the Bar Head Rocks (featured in this video). Those rocks are located on Sandy Point reservation (which is Ipswich Ma and not part of the Parker River Wildlife Refuge.) That section will remain open! It's VERY good for shelling.

If you want the full Plum Island experience (all 11 miles of beach) - late August, September, October, November and December are great months. The off season is best because during the summer the island is very congested.
The spring is ok, but the weather can be very unpredictable as you can see from watching my videos.

Green Heads: We also have Green head flies that start swarming early July through August. They love the beach and they bite. They are like mosquitos on steroids.

Where to Shell: The Parker River Wildlife Refuge Gates 5 to Bars Head is amazing for shelling.
It's always best to contact the refuge before booking any trips if you are coming specifically for shelling and the beaches. This way you are sure the gate to the lower lots will be open along with the beaches.

Where to stay: There are Air BNB's all over the island, but The Blue Inn is SPECTACULAR. Right on the ocean - I am a huge fan. Newburyport is right over the bridge and it's perfect for New England Charm. Tons of restaurants, Inns and Air BNB's.

Where to Eat: There are several restaurants on the island, to name a few of my favorites: The Beachcomber, The Plum Island Grill, Bob Lobster, Georgie Porgies.
Newburyport: Sea Level is my absolute favorite! As well as The Park Lunch.

Other Activities: Plum Island Kayak, Newburyport Whale Watches, Fishing Charters, Surfing, Sailboat Tours - so much fun!
