The Silverstrand in Coronado has lots of seashells

There are *loads* of seashells on SoCal's beaches. They're typically quite small - the largest ones I've seen are the sand dollars. Sea of Cortez, for example, provides a sheltered environment for sea life and so has larger shells (if you can get to them before the birds do!). And on San Diego beaches, the shells get easily broken by birds and beach-goers, so the best time to go hunting them is just after tide goes out.

There's bunches of it in the tidal areas at the South end of Sunset Cliffs. I've spent a few afternoons sifting through it for good jewelry pieces

I have found lots of sea shells in San Diego, Pacific and Mission Beach. Of course, 75% was at low tide, not just any low tide, but those of at least 0.25 or less, and better in winter months or after a storm n

My grandson and I found quite a lot of green, brown. Some light blue and one small piece of red at La Jolla Cove on Tuesday. Look by the rocks where the waves crash

also lots of seashells in del mar and torrey pines [though the latter is a state reserve so removal is not allowed].....sea glass, once or twice in ten years-definitely an anomaly....Sunset Cliffs and LJ Cove would make sense: Locations where you will find more beach partying [even with the ban] and other, ahem, activities....
