RE: Collecting Sand Dollars on the Silver Strand
I love this! We have a beach near us that gives out sand dollars as well. :) We have found quite a few black ones before that are either dead or dying. If you take them home and leave them in the sun, they will bleach white and all the little tentacles will fall off. That's what happened to ours recently. I have thought about posting pics of them. Now I need to do that before the kids break them. ;) Looks like a great beach!!
I didnt realize when they dry up they turn white, thats crazy! I know they are rare so its cool u have them down there in panama too, i wonder if ill be able to find them in costa rica beaches at all? They are so much fun to look for while on the beach, i couldve done it all day if we werent on a time crunch. ;)
