Yesterday, my family and I drove to Burkes Beach in Hilton Head, South Carolina. While we were walking over the bridge leading to the beach, we saw three beautiful kites in the sky and a school of fish in the river.

As I was wading in the ocean, I found a piece of seaweed. My sister decided to keep it.

I also saw what I first thought might have been a shark tooth. But upon grabbing it out of the water I found it was a shell. I was hoping to find a rare seashell or something else interesting, like a shark’s tooth. Though I didn’t find anything like that, I did collect a few nice seashells and a pebble.
