The Gulf side of Pass-a-Grille also seemed to have limited exposure to the red tide, with only a few dead fish and little evidence of the smell. The rocks are always difficult to navigate there, though, so we opted to skip our usual post-Seahorse-breakfast shelling at the beach and headed to Treasure Island for some retail shelling instead. Good call. We'll hit the beach next time.

I found a perfect sand dollar–no chips or anything. Unfortunately, I put it in my pocket and forgot about it. It was crushed to bits by the time I got home, maybe the seatbelt in the car or something. Lesson learned for the next time I find one.
