Marine sand fleas, also known as beach hoppers or amphipods, are small crustaceans that belong to the same family as land-based sand fleas. Here’s some information about marine sand fleas:
1. Appearance: Marine sand fleas are small creatures, typically ranging in size from a few millimeters to a centimeter in length. They have elongated bodies with a segmented exoskeleton and are usually brown, gray, or translucent in color. They have multiple pairs of legs, which they use for hopping or swimming.
2. Habitat: Marine sand fleas are commonly found along sandy beaches, intertidal zones, and coastal areas worldwide. They inhabit the area where the ocean meets the shoreline, living in the sand or hiding under rocks and seaweed. They are adapted to withstand exposure to both air and water.
3. Behavior: Marine sand fleas are agile hoppers. They use their powerful legs to jump and move quickly, which helps them evade predators and navigate their sandy habitat. They are primarily active during the night, when they come out to feed on decaying organic matter and microscopic organisms found in the sand.
4. Ecological Importance: Marine sand fleas play an important role in coastal ecosystems. They contribute to the breakdown of organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. They also serve as a food source for various marine organisms, including shorebirds, fish, and other crustaceans.
5. Harmlessness to Humans: Unlike their land-dwelling counterparts, marine sand fleas do not bite or cause irritation to humans. They are harmless and are generally not a cause for concern. However, they can sometimes be mistaken for sand fleas that do bite, leading to confusion in terminology.
It’s important to note that marine sand fleas are part of the natural biodiversity of coastal environments and do not pose a threat to human health. They are fascinating creatures that contribute to the overall balance of marine ecosystems, playing their part in the complex web of life along the seashore.

Yup, we just waited for the waves to flow back into the ocean, then you get down real low so you can see their little antennae sticking out of the sand.
