Know before you go
A little care.
A better day out.
Public access
Use the state beach’s public entrances. Check day-use fees, bay-side access and current water-contact notices. The park brochure explains the silvery shells behind its name.
Keep the coast wild
Check swell and beach hazards as well as the tide. Leave occupied shells and living sand dollars in place.
Planning to bring a dog? Check the land manager’s current pet rules for this exact route and beach.
Shells along this shore
Shell fragments and strand-line discoveries; what washes up varies.
Look along the strand line as the tide recedes, when access is safe. High-water marks can hold empty shells too; finds are never guaranteed.
Check the park’s current collecting rules before taking anything.
