Big shell beach

I'd love to find shells like these.

Inspiration - Azores Island

Seashells

Big Shell beach is influenced by currents from the south which deposit slightly large shells. So if you have a large shell collection come by Big Shell beach and see what you can find! Admission to the Padre Island National Seashore is required. $10 per vehicle for a day pass, $20 for a 7-day pass.

Seashells in Florida are all over the state and whether you’re an avid shell collector or not, it’s hard to not want to pick up a pretty piece or two when you’re visiting the beach. In many cases, the best time to find shells is right after big storms when the tide is low. Going in the early morning may even help increase your pickings.

Did you know that if you find a starfish, and you think it may be alive- your best bet is to put them back in the ocean, without touching them with your hands! Grab a big shell or scoop up the sand underneath to get them back out to sea! If you didn't know before, now you do! Have you found starfish at the beach?! #ameliaisland #fernandinabeach #starfish #beachcombing #beachtreasures
