Here are some of the best beaches near you to go shelling and find unique seashells:
The best times for shelling are generally spring and fall when stormy weather has washed unique shells up onto the shore. Winter storms following calmer seasons often result in an abundance of colorfully dotted, spiraled and ridged shells littering the beach.
Some of the most common shells found on beaches include cockles, clams, mussels, whelks, conches, olive shells, auger shells, moon snails, ark shells, and cowries. Seashell collections usually include these ubiquitous shells as well as rarer beauties like murex, murex clams, tritons, melons, and rare cone shells.
To find shells, walk along the wet sand at the water's edge after a storm. Stop occasionally to scan the sand with your eyes. Gently sift through any small shells or debris with your fingers. Pay close attention to small tidal pools left behind by the receding tide. Consider exploring beaches after sunrise for less crowded shelling.
In most areas, it's perfectly legal to collect seashells for your personal collection as long as you don't use tools like shovels. Be mindful of local regulations and avoid harvesting live shellfish. Always leave some shells behind for other beach visitors and for ocean wildlife who may use empty shells for habitat.
There are many field guides available to aid in shell identification. Focus on attributes like overall shape, coloring, size and dimensions of aperture (opening), number of whorls and spiral patterning. Viewing anatomical features under magnification such as a hand lens can reveal details diagnostic to a particular species.
