BETHANY BEACH -- For some Delaware shore residents, bad weather is the best -- especially for those at Treasure Beach.
"We're here all winter long so we actually get to go out on the beach," said Jim Hall, the nature center manager for the Delaware Seashore State Park. "We get to go out after all those storms. That's when you get the cool stuff."
The Delaware Seashore State Park is offering a beachcombing program April 7. A class will be given by a naturalist who will teach people how to identify pieces of shells, flotsam and jetsam and even pieces of animals. Participants will also learn to identify the different types of birds and plants that make their home on the Delaware shore.
"It's for people who always wondered what that stuff was," Hall said, noting that a few lucky beachcombers could find some artifacts -- or at least some pocket change. "Typically you find a lot more stuff this time of year. The weather's a little rougher and anytime the waves are rough is usually when you find the best haul at the beach."
