I'm heading to DC in less than 2 weeks with the family. I was hoping to hit up matoaka beach one day when it's nice to look for some fossils and let the kids play it they get bored of it. My wife though is freaking about all the vibrio and flesh eating bacteria stories in the news. I imagine this is quite rare but does anyone have any recommendations on "cleaner" areas to hunt. I'm debating on purse\brownies too when people are chilling at the hotel. I personally am going for it as id like to get some shells and teeth, but also want to make the wife a little less worried, especially if the kids want to go in.
