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!
