Sand Racking

I like to go on the sand early in the morning and look at the seashells that have washed up during the high tide in the evening. Many beaches sand rack their beach to remove the seashells.

Are Aruba beaches cleared of their seashells before you can take them?

That is a great question. I know a lot of beaches here in the states are cleaned early in the morning. I think knowing when high tide is and then again when low tide is, you should be able to find some nice shells.

I was always able to find some really nice shells in Aruba. I like to put on a snorkel mask and surface dive in the ocean for shells and bits of coral, but I used to find some nice stuff on the beaches too. I'm not sure if they rake the beaches or not, but regardless, they can't get up everything and you'll still be able to find little treasures here and there

That is good to know. It is fun to go out and find the pretty shells. You really never know what you are going to find. I think it is neat when you stumble across the lone starfish.

This a fun activity and for us to make sure that we get some seashells is to go there very early in the morning to collect the shells. I have been collecting shells when I was still very young and we do it at dawn.

I used to collect seashells in my childhood. They are pretty and it seems that you can always find new and unique seashells every time you go to beach finding them.
