Actually quite commonly seen at specific times as the ocean floor meets land at the beach. Fun to watch tourists freak out seeing the live at teh shoreline as they can look a little scary. From Google:
Limulus polyphemus is internationally listed as vulnerable. During full moons, new moons, and high tides in May and June, hundreds of thousands of horseshoe crabs converge on the Delaware Bay to breed.
