Fall is not just time for the mountains-come to the Crystal Coast!! The water is still warm and there is lots of exploring to do! Capt. Jess thought followers would enjoy some pictures of beautiful cloud patterns, along with great adventure pictures of clamming, picking up sand dollars (dead), wild horses, blue button jellyfish, purple sea urchins/sargassum shrimp (released alive), and fun times. Come enjoy the beauty with us!

Celebrating going out with Crystal Coast Ecotours for almost 10 years running!!!

One of my greatest joys of this venture is getting to know families and sharing the beauty of the area with them as the years go by. This group is one of the longest running returning customers and features a wantabe marine biologist that is training to represent the USA in the Olympics!!!

Here's some pictures of their recent adventure with Capt. Jess. A happy family and a happy day!

Locals know that the beauty of the fall at the Crystal Coast is often breathtaking. On this adventure we celebrated a birthday with a group that were long time friends. Great memories were made! We left rain clouds behind and found fun/joy! Check out the shark-eye (moon snail) egg case that she lays around herself and they breaks through. I included a picture of a live moon snail. These ladies and Capt. Jess had a blast. Sometimes our customers listen to advice like wearing shoes when walking across the sand to find some GREAT conch shells (check out the burnt bottom of her feet) and sometimes they don't-oh well. Come make some memories this fall!

With the Fall season approaching, Crystal Coast Ecotours has availability for an adventure with nature. Come experience some wonderful activities while the water is warm!
This family got to go shelling (found a very rare Murex shell), find some sand dollars, experience purple sea urchins, drive a boat, and just had a wonderful day making memories.
Coming back to the dock, I found a young horse conch (released. Note the bright red colors; it grows to our largest conch!
Check out the pictures.... and come join us!

Another beautiful day exploring the Crystal Coast! ☀️🌊🐬

From watching dolphins playing alongside the boat and spotting the wild horses along the shore, to wetting a line and hunting for treasures on the sandbars — this crew got a little bit of everything!

And check out that shell! 🐚🤩

You just never know what we’re going to find or see out there, and that’s what makes every trip different.

Thanks for spending the day with Crystal Coast Ecotours — we had a blast having y’all aboard!

Another awesome day exploring the Crystal Coast! 🌊☀️

This family visiting from New York came ready for an adventure—and the Crystal Coast definitely delivered!

The shelling was fantastic. 🐚 They found some beautiful whelks and an incredible collection of sand dollars. ⭐️ We even mixed in a little fishing and managed to put a few fish in the boat! 🎣

And then came one of the highlights of the day… spotting a baby wild horse out in the water! 🐴🌊

We kept an eye on those big summer clouds, managed to dodge the rain, and packed a whole lot into one day—wildlife watching, fishing, exploring secluded beaches, and some seriously good treasure hunting.

Days like this are exactly what Crystal Coast Ecotours is all about. You never know what we’re going to find out there!

Thanks for spending the day with me, guys! Hope to see y’all back on the Crystal Coast again! ⚓️😎
