Sand dollar, with a flower pattern
Beach
Oh jeez, that last picture didn't load the last time I was here, yes it's a sand dollar. Most likely Clypeaster rosaceus, also known as the sea biscuit! Fits both the location and appearance (that very wide, almost flower like star in the middle).
Yep, this is a kind of sea urchin called a heart urchin, they belong to a group of Echinoderms called Spatangoida. Hard to ID, so maybe try and find an ID book for this specific area! But neat find :D
