Shelling at Breezy Point 
Gateway Recreation Area
May 14, 2020

Donโt tell anyone, please, but Breezy Point has the most beautiful beach in New York City. As you gaze upon the waters, the most gorgeous of hue of aquamarine, itโs almost baffling. So clear and clean. And donโt let the gate fool you, the insular community contains another part of Gateway Recreation Area: The Breezy Point Tip. And because of its remotenessโฆ there are gorgeous shells no one is picking up.

It was a heavenly empty beach, save for some local fishermen.

And just look at this spread! Beats the more populated and now second place shelling hot spot, the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway Recreation Area.

See Manhattan over there?


Beautifully colored scallop shells

Coney Island Baby

What a nice haul!




I am making some crowns with these razor clam shells. Stay tuned.

Guess which ones I got on the rusty debris-filled shore of Dead Horse Bay Beach.
