The Joys of Beachcombing

What are your favorite things about beachcombing? Take our one-question Joys of Beachcombing poll to let us know which things bring you the most happiness when you are on the beach for a day of beachcombing. Answer the poll by April 30th and you'll be entered to win a prize package from Shore Goods. We'll include the results in an upcoming issue of Beachcombing.

Art Glass

Have you found a decorative beach glass piece? There are beaches famous for their multicolor sea glass, but you can find art glass on any beach! Decorative, colorful, and patterned ornamental glass from vases, bowls, lamps, and figurines was discarded on beaches throughout the world. If you have found any art glass on the beach, email your photos to submissions@beachcombing.com for an upcoming article. Email your photos with “Art Glass” in the subject line and we’ll include our favorites!

Teeny Tiny Treasures

Do you pick up even the smallest pieces of beach glass, baby seashells, tiny fossils, little rocks, or itty-bitty pieces of beach metal? How do you display or what do you do with your miniature beach finds? Email your photos with “Minis” in the subject line and we’ll include our favorites in an upcoming article!

Glowing Beach Finds

Have you found any glowing beach finds? ☢️ We want to see your UV sea or beach glass, rocks, fossils, or seashells that glow under black light. 🔦 Email photos of your UV reactive pieces to submissions@beachcombing.com for an upcoming article. Email your photos with “Glowing” in the subject line and we’ll include our favorites!

Friends with Claws

Every beach has its own critters, and many of those critters have claws! Don't be shellfish and send in your crabulous photos of crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans on your beach for an upcoming issue. Email your photos with “Claws” in the subject line.

Perfectly Imperfect

We all dream of finding pristine treasures on the beach, but sometimes things are broken, cracked, scuffed, malformed, or just not exactly perfect. Send in your photos of imperfect finds that you brought home anyway for an upcoming issue. Email your photos with “Imperfect” in the subject line.
