How to find seashells in Jamaica #findseashells #seashells

I heard the best time to go to Burwood Beach in Jamaica  to find shells is right after a big storm.  Searching for seashells along a sun-lined, sandy beach is a coastal pastime enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Even the most avid seashell collectors, however, have trouble finding large, intact gems straight from the ocean floor. With a little knowledge and a lot of patience, though, you can unearth some of the best shells your collection has seen.

Instructions
1
Grab your plastic bag and head to the beach's shoreline. Walk along the point where the shore stops, picking up and bagging any shells you find.

2
Observe areas that seem to be pushing debris -- seaweed, trash, rocks or seashells -- toward the shore. Head to that area and wait for the tide to come in. Pick up any shells that wash up.

3
Walk a little deeper into the water to see what lies on the bottom of the ocean floor, going in only about ankle deep. This will allow you to grab shells you see before they're picked up by the motion of the tide. Act quickly if you see a shell, though, so you can catch it before the tide comes in.

4
Reach to the bottom when the water is muddy or murky, or when the reflection is too bright to see to the bottom. Feel for foreign objects. If you feel a lot of different textures, there's a good chance they may be rocks and seashells. Sweep your hand along a few inches of the ocean floor, scooping up what you come in contact with.

5
Go through the items you've grabbed. Finding seashells of any type, small or large, may indicate the presence of more below. If you find only small, pebble-like rocks and lots of sand, move on to a different area of the beach.

6
Test various spots in the shoreline, sticking your foot a few inches into the water not too far from where the shore ends. See if many items pass under your foot, aside from sand, when the tide comes in. If you have seashells or rocks trapped just underneath the sand below your foot, the current from the shoreline activity will forcefully try to pull them toward the beach.

7
Look around the beach, keeping an eye out for children who may also be collecting seashells. Move to areas closer to them where shells may be abundant. Just don't completely invade their territory or take shells that you see others reaching for. Beachside etiquette is especially important when it comes to children.

8
Visit out-of-the-way or deserted areas of the beach, which may be untapped resources for shells.

9
Search the various crevices and cracks of any rock formations that extend into the ocean. Shells can become trapped in these holes when the current breaks on the rocks. Shells may also be hidden in seaweed or in other items that wash ashore.
