Grow Your Collection at These Beaches with Seashells Near San Diego

One of the things that many people enjoy doing when they visit the beach is collecting seashells. You will find children digging holes in the sand and rushing up and down the beach in search of seashells. Finding shells along the shore is enjoyable and makes for beautiful keepsakes! Check out these beaches if you are a seashell collector the next time you leave your apartment in San Diego.

Silver Strand Beach

Silver Strand Beach faces both the Pacific Ocean and the San Diego Bay. You should go to the Bayside if you want to go seashell hunting. There are warm, quiet waters and a beach with many tables, fire rings, and BBQ pits. But to discover the shells, you'll need to head south of all that. Find seashells and perhaps even sand dollars while exploring the 1.5 miles of natural beach!

Coronado Beach

If you live in San Diego, you should visit Coronado Beach. It's a fantastic spot for collecting seashells. You can stroll on the welcoming smooth white sand while looking out for seashells the tide has swept up. Even though it's somewhat hit or miss, this is still an excellent place to look for seashells. A perfect day is when you discover that ideal shell while surrounded by the beach's beauty.

Dog Beach

You can look for seashells with your dog at Coronado Dog Beach. Your dogs are welcome to explore the sand and water without a leash at this beach. They can help you form seashells in the sand, play with other dogs, and cool down in the water. 

The best time of day for seashell hunting is very early in the morning when shells from the previous night have washed up on the beach. If you have not yet moved to San Diego, you will be able to visit most of these best spots and more. On your way home, make sure to stop by one of these great spots!
