What a FINTASTIC Shark Week!

  What a FINTASTIC Shark Week!





Wow—Shark Week 2025 was one for the books, and we’re still riding the wave of excitement! 🌊

From the bottom of our salty hearts, thank you to everyone who stopped by The Shark Shack, joined in the tooth hunts, snapped fun photos, and shared their love for all things SHARK!  Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime fan of the fins, we loved celebrating with you.

 Highlights of the Week:


    •    Little ones got their hands sandy digging for REAL shark teeth in our tooth hunt zone! Their squeals of excitement? Priceless

   •    So many of you picked up our handmade shark tooth necklaces—each one carefully wrapped with love and history, made right here in Wilmington.


    •    We had folks stopping by to chat with Clay about his shark research, ask questions about fossils, and grab signed copies of his books! 


    •    And thanks to our home base at Blue Moon Gift Shops, we were able to showcase even more treasures for shark lovers of all ages. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re missing out on one of Wilmington’s most unique shopping gems!

What customers had to say:

“We had the BEST time at The Shark Shack! My kids are still talking about the tooth dig and my husband hasn’t taken off his Megalodon necklace since we got home. We can’t wait to come back!” – Emily R., Raleigh, NC

“Clay’s book gave me chills—I never realized how much goes into understanding shark behavior. It’s equal parts thrilling and eye-opening. A must-read for anyone who’s ever stepped foot in the ocean!” – David L., Surf City, NC

“I’ve bought shark tooth jewelry from all over, but nothing compares to The Shark Shack. The craftsmanship, the quality, the meaning behind each piece—it’s truly one-of-a-kind.” – Jenna M., Wilmington, NC

It’s weeks like this that remind us why we do what we do. Sharks inspire wonder, curiosity, and conservation—and we’re honored to play a small part in keeping their stories alive.

 Didn’t make it out? You can still grab your own piece of sharky treasure at https://www.thesharkshack.org or visit us in person at Blue Moon Gift Shops in Wilmington, NC.

Fall and winter are actually some of the best times to hit the beach and search for those ancient black gems. The Perks of Cold-Weather Hunting There’s something peaceful about walking the shoreline bundled in a hoodie, with the wind on your face and the sound of the waves all to yourself.

That’s exactly how it felt during our recent visit to the Wallace Rotary, where Clay was invited to speak for the third year in a row. Every time we return, it feels like coming back to old friends. Even miles away from the shoreline, the coast has a way of following us. As Clay began his talk, the room took on that same calm anticipation you feel standing at the edge of the surf, waiting on the next swell. The focus of the day was shark bite behavior, a subject Clay has spent years studying and presenting along the Carolina coast. The Rotary members were eager, curious, and ready to dive in with us.
