The best stories and photos in Beachcombing come from our worldwide community of beachcombers. Following are just some of the stories we are working on for future issues. If you have another idea for an article, please find out how to submit your article on the Submissions page.

Beachcombing Reader Survey

Beachcombing is of, by, and for beachcombers, and your input helps us share stories and information that you want to read. Three random emails will be selected from those who answer the survey by May 31, 2025, to each get a $50 gift certificate for the Beachcombing.com shop. Let us know more about you in the Beachcombing Reader Survey.

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

crabs on the beach

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.
