Seashells??????????

There are shells on all the beaches--it depends on what you are envisioning on finding. Most shell collectors and beachcombers jealously guard the good spots. Myself included! But, I will say this, I find shells on every beach I go to--you just have to look close. Most of the shells you find are 1 inch or smaller--mostly much smaller. The big shells you find for sale are usually harvested somewhere out in the ocean, or come from the Phillipines.

Not much help on exact locations--sorry--but want to let you know they are out there!

volkswagengirl- I saw some really cool shells at Sharks Cove, they were very small, like mrsfuzz said.

mrsfuzz- I know that you are not suppose to take sand or anything that is part of the land, is the same true about the seashells?

thanx for the info, I know when I was down there in 99%26#39; I was only able to find 1 lonely puca shell on waikiki beach, we didnt do a lot of travelling around the Island though and this time Im taking my fiance and he%26#39;s never been so I figured we tour a little, thanx again for the info, I%26#39;ll look hard! If not I%26#39;ll just take some super zoomed in picutres and tell my brother there that big(hee hee)! Cheers!

1. Buy cheap souvenir shells.

2. Scatter on beach.

3. Take pictures.

NOTE: Be sure souvenir shells are not painted with hula girls and ';Hawai%26#39;i.';

Hawaii is definitly not a shellers paradise. You%26#39;ll have a hard time finding much on the beaches here. One place I did find more than the usual amount of shells was at Ewa Beach Park at the end of Fort Weaver Road. Ms Fuzz%26#39;s stomping grounds I guess??. Avoid the beach park at the other end of the shoreline, it%26#39;s named Onelua Beach Park. It%26#39;s a very isolated with some homeless, bad guys and druggies that hang out there. Scary!

mrsfuzz does NOT frequent Oneula--not really a good place to be. Although, it has gotten a little better. Many of the homeless were rousted out of there last year.

I will concur Shark%26#39;s cove is a good place for finding some--look well. They are small and mixed in w/the pebbles! Can%26#39;t go during the winter months however. Too dangerous. Quite a few puka can be found there. Every once in a while the cove at Turtle Bay will cough up something cool too. Found a shark%26#39;s tooth there a couple summers ago.......

I have found cowry shells on Waikiki.

Hunting tip....go just after a high tide and scan the debris field for goodies.

thanks, you guys are awesome, I really appreciate the info and I%26#39;ll keep my eyes open for shells, hmmmm, the idea of buying some and taking photos is pretty appealing aswell, we%26#39;ll see. THANX AGAIN EVERYONE!

My husband keeps threatening to buy souvenir shells, spread them on his hometown, CT beach and watch the kids freak out.

Not to mention the serious shell collectors pzp....when they find a cowerie on a CT beach.
