Beachcombing for Ancient Teeth: A 2‑Hour Shark‑Tooth Hunt off Mount Pleasant.
Set out from Mount Pleasant for a focused, two-hour search along banks and marsh edges where shark teeth wash up. Staff from The Reel Deal Charters guide the short shore excursions, demonstrate what to look for, and promise that you’ll come away with teeth or that the crew will find some for you. The trip is designed to be family-friendly, but requires leaving the boat to walk beach or marsh areas, so bring appropriate footwear and a bag for finds.
