Sand Crab v1

I love the ocean.
     I sleep in wet sand.
My biggest fear is
     a child's little hand.
You guessed my secret.
     Don't ever blab.
Yours, sincerely,
     A Friendly Sand Crab.

I remember being in Pawley’s island and seeing so many crabs.

I used to catch a kind of sand crab as a kid on the California beaches, that live just under the sand. They stick there antennae out as the water recedes after a breaker. I think they antennae filter microscopic nutrients from the water, but they also tell kids where to dig to catch them!
