Succès ! Nous avons garé la voiture un peu après 10 heures et avons commencé la marche vers la plage. Nous sommes revenus vers midi. Nous n'avons pas eu de chance à la recherche dans la boue (et il y en avait beaucoup !) mais nous avons plutôt trouvé les dents entre les rangées de coquillages écrasés posés sur le sable brun. Nous avons trouvé principalement du sable sec, pas totalement sec, mais pas super humide, ce qui était la meilleure zone à explorer.
Il n'y a pas d'ombre, il fait chaud ! Assurez-vous de venir préparé avec de l'eau.

I used to go to South Carolina to search for shark teeth until I discovered that Jekyll Island had a shark tooth beach. I was hesitant at first, but the beach had just as many impressive teeth and fossils as some of the best spots in South Carolina. I was thrilled and found it to be a great beach for beginners. Not only were there plenty of teeth, especially during low tide, but there were dolphins everywhere and the sunset was the most beautiful I have ever seen. I will definitely be returning.
The walk to the beach is a bit long, about a mile, and there isn't much shade, which could be a problem in the extreme heat. Make sure to bring plenty of water for the walk back, as well as bug spray regardless of the time of day. Watching the sunset is a must - the tide was coming in as the sun set, making it easy to spot teeth glistening in the sunlight. If you go for the sunset, be sure to bring a flashlight for the walk back in the dark.
