I have had very good luck right after storms on Brigantine's northern end, especially the long hike up to and including Hoffman's point. Also great but you have to be able to get out there is the island you can see off the beach while at Hoffmans point. I think its called little beach, you need permission to collect on it from the Brigantine preserve.

> Dear Linda;-
>   What Kay means is that there are many beaches in the US of A that offer
great shelling opportunities. I have made a career of South Carolina
beaches. Florida, the Gulf coast, up to New Jersey (where I have found my
best Ep. rupicola) are great. West coast beaches (restrictions not
withstanding) also count. Turn over rocks. Diddle with yer toes. Look up low
tides in local papers.
>   Most importantly: BUY BOOKS ABOUT SHELLS FIRST. Learn about what you are
looking for and at.
