Did you know the U.S. coastline spans an impressive 95,471 miles? That means countless beaches and potential seashells for you to discover. Remember, timing is key.

To find the most beautiful shells, search during low tide or as it approaches. The best times? Right before and after low tide, especially after strong winds or storms. Here's a tip: during full or new moons, the low spring tides are simply magical. If you're looking for rare treasures, visit the beach in the colder seasons of fall and winter. With fewer people around, there's more opportunity for you to find unique shells.
