Inscription.
The sand dollar wears its bones on the outsides. It has a famous legend and it goes like this.

Upon this odd shaped sea shell, a legend grand is told.
About a precious life, A wondrous tale of old.
The center marking plainly shows the well known Guiding Star.
Which led to tiny Bethlehem three wise men from afar.
The Christmas flower, a Poinsettia for his Nativity.
The Resurrection too is marked, the Easter Lily see.
Within the shell, should it be broke, five doves of Peace are found.
They celebrate this legend, so may Peace and Love abound.

Erected by Sea Shell Shop. (Marker Number 9.)
