Sand Rose digging is one of the things people enjoy doing here. Sand Roses are gypsum crystals formed with sand over time. They are hard like a rock and heavy. The are found just above the water line which means you have to dig for them. You can dig and not find many or you may hit a hole that just keeps giving. It is a bit like playing the lottery. There are some places that are known for them and you can see the remains of other digs by the abandoned sand roses laying about. The sand roses come in all shapes and sizes and are very pretty.
