The beach is a lot of fun just by itself, right? 

Sure. But if you find yourself with a couple of kids who (after several days on the beach) are getting a little bit antsy, hand out this simple scavenger hunt. It will take the focus off their sandy bathing suits and force their eyes up. Motivate them to look around and find all of the beauty that surrounds them as they visit Topsail Island. 

This quick little hunt is also a great educational opportunity. Do your kids know what dune grass is, or why it's important? What's the difference between a shrimping boat and other sorts of watercraft? Can they tell a whelk from a conch? There is always something to learn on vacation. 

We have also included a make-your-own printable worksheet if you would like to use your own creativity. Look for a certain breed of dog, a special color of seashell, or a lady wearing a really funny sun hat. Enjoy!
