We have been in the Outer Banks for a solid week and have been shelling quite a bit. While we have had some luck, we were hoping for more. While in Ocracoke last weekend we spotted a sign for Portsmouth Island Adventures and I called to set up a shelling tour. Basically, they take you out to Portsmouth on a boat and drop you off for a few hours, then they come back to get you. It very much feels like a deserted island! The ride out was pretty chilly but it was a gorgeous day! We brought chairs, a small cooler, my camera bag, a backpack and some big shelling bags with a few scoopers. We bought

Today we trekked out to Ocracoke Island. It’s an hours drive from Nags Head in the Outer Banks plus a one hour ferry ride. We had so much fun and made some wonderful memories. We were hoping to score some really amazing shells. We found some, but it wasn’t at all what we’d hoped for even at low tide. But! We did see a sign for shelling tours out to an island and booked that for later this week! So excited!

Over Christmas I asked my mom if there was anywhere on her bucket list that she had never been, but had always wanted to go. She immediately answered “Outer Banks, North Carolina” without giving it a thought. I immediately said, “let’s do it!” So we started planning this stop and she flew in to meet us here. We were here less than 30 minutes before we ventured out to the beach in search of shells. We found a few keepers and I loved all the purple pieces so much. I’m so happy to spend the next 8 days exploring with my favorite people! Tomorrow […]
