Masonboro Island Education and Crab Boil
We started off the afternoon by taking three of our boats to Masonboro Island. Karen took us on a nature path over the island which led us to the beautiful and pleasantly uncrowded beach. While on the beach Karen showed us many of the shell varieties found on Masonboro and the surrounding areas. After learning about the shells, we got to explore the beach and put our new knowledge to work! The path over the island was full of interesting vegetation and wonderful 360 views of the water and island. After all of that exploring and learning, people were hungry! Luckily we had been catching crabs in 6 crab pots we set out and were grilling up some hamburgers and hot dogs too! For the full experience, club members got to help clean the crabs before they were boiled. There’s nothing better than eating crabs right by the water they came out of. Talk about fresh!
Masonboro Island Education and Crab Boil
We spent the afternoon exploring Masonboro Island with three of our boats. Karen led the group on a nature path across the island to a beautiful, uncrowded beach, where everyone learned about the different shell varieties found in the area. After some beach exploring and shell hunting, the group worked up an appetite. Luckily, we had crab pots out and burgers and hot dogs on the grill. Members even helped clean the crabs before they were boiled. It doesn’t get much fresher than eating crabs right by the water they came from.
