Beach combing, is defined as someone who "combs" (or searches) the beach looking for things of value, interest or utility. To some it is a serious hobby or life style. For most of us it is a time to enjoy the fresh sea air, sand, breeze and a good walk while we pick up some treasures that are great for craft projects or tokens of a beautiful day.
Here are some beaches that offer a wide variety of collectible items in addition to the standard sea glass and seashells. Some of the treasures you might find at these beaches are coquinas, scallops, whelks, sand dollars, shark teeth, ark shells, moon snails, razor clamshells, and much more. Experts will tell you the best picks come the days after a storm.

If you plan to collect treasures while traveling bring some sturdy ziplock bags. Rinse the items several times. Let them dry thoroughly and put them into the ziplocks and make sure they are sealed well. Make sure you cushion them well in your suitcase or have a box you can put the ziplock bag into for extra protection.
