Was a fun experience but it was two hours of travel time and only one hour to collect shells. If they could have gotten there fast and given more time to collect shells it would have been better. If you do go, try for the morning trip as more ss may be available and it was less crowded. Staff were very fun and courteous we just wouldn't do again.
