In case you’re visiting Florida for the first time and looking to score some serious natural swag, we have the beach of your dreams. If you didn’t know, sand dollars are marine creatures very closely related to sea urchins, creeping along the ocean floor seeking food. While they are found on nearly every single beach, there is one spot where you can find an abundance of sand dollars flourishing in Florida and snag a few up-close-and-personal sightings.

There is one beach in Florida that is a go-to if you’re looking to score some serious sightings of sand dollars up close.
