Silver Strand State Beach

5000 Highway 75
Coronado , CA , United States http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=654

Why Go: Named for its shimmering oyster-strewn shore, this popular and easily accessible stretch of beach on Coronado is also scattered with more enticing shells. A pedestrian tunnel under the road connects bay and ocean sides of the thin strip of beach, but the best shells are served up by the long, gentle rolling surf on the ocean side. Hotel del Coronado, a coral-red-roofed classic resort, is just a wave away (and its spa offers several face and body treatments that involve the application of gently heated, smooth shells).

What You’ll Find: Sand dollars, cockles, limpets, and scallops.
