Myrtle Beach Sharktooth Adventures operates public shark tooth and fossil digging experiences in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The business offers a variety of one- and two-hour digging sessions that invite both novices and experienced collectors to sift through ocean floor material and uncover shark teeth and fossils. Many experiences advertise the chance to find rare Megalodon teeth, and participants can choose between standard and premium tiers to match their interest level and time available.
Offerings include named digs such as the Megalodon Standard Dig, Megalodon Premium Dig, Sandbar Shark Dig, Great White Standard Dig, Great White Premium Dig, Bull Shark Standard Dig, and Bull Shark Premium Dig. Sessions are presented in tiered formats with options described as standard and premium, and some premium listings reference four digging tiers for larger or more targeted hunts. Myrtle Beach Sharktooth Adventures also hosts specialty events, including the Easter MEGSTRAVAGANZA — a kids 10-and-under egg hunt that features the chance to find special prizes, a guest appearance by speaker Charles Sheldon for tooth identification, and a raffle with prizes such as an entire tooth.
In addition to digs and events, merchandise options are offered for visitors who want keepsakes, including shadow boxes, teeth, stickers, and other items. All descriptions emphasize hands-on fossil hunting, accessible experiences for different skill levels, and opportunities for families and collectors to take home identified finds.
