Watch as thousands of clams emerge from the damp sands in Topsail Island, NC.

These are conquina clams and respond to the incoming waves. They’ll eat tiny plans and even animals that exist in the Atlantic waters. All along the beach, for miles and miles, these calms emerge at once to the same triggers and in this case, because so many appeared at once, it may have been a breeding event.

In Pure Spirit

Does this give you reason to wonder what might be under your feet on your next summer holiday?
