Crab Island was fun but is closing. Our trip started at 9 am. Some kayakers got out in front or us. Then we were overrun by about 50 kids who storm the small island around 10 am. We still found teeth but it was crowded.

Captain Jim was excellent. Timely and knowledgeable. He was very accommodating and helped us find 25 shark teeth. Our kids loved the shark tooth adventure.
