awwww, my hometown is number 4 on cnn’s best beaches to look for shells (http://www.cnn.com/2007/TRAVEL/03/08/bil.cl.shelling.beaches/index.html). a snip from the article says that “When cold fronts roll in from the north, experienced shellers bundle up and hit the beach.” i have many pictures in my photo album of me in varying states of growing up, bundled into a winter coat (with hood, for wind protection), carrying a shell bag. we would frequently go during the winter, as the beach was not disturbed then, and we could find whole sand dollars tucked into the dunes.
