"CELEBRATION OF LIFE at TPB"
Mid May - Late June
Around the Full Moon in May and again about mid-June,
the Horseshoe Crabs gather for several weeks in Thomas Bay at
Thomas Point Beach to perform their "Annual Mating Ritual",
just like they have been doing here for over 300 million years!
The health of the Horseshoe Crab is critical to the health of both
the coastal ecosystem and to humans.
Often called 'the Living Fossil', it is one of the earth's oldest creatures, appearing over 100 million years before the dinosaurs!
The horseshoe crab is totally harmless and will not bother anyone.
Surely an event not to be missed!
Come swim with the Horseshoe crabs and witness life in the making!
