Materials
List of items that can be found on an ocean beach or seashore
Preparation
Make a list of items that can be found on a beach. A list of items is provided below. Value them on their rarity. Depending on the beach and the time of the year, remove those items that cannot be found. But the beach is an amazing place. You never know what you will find! You might include points for each different kind of shell found. Some items are for a travel hunt to retrieve the items, almost all can be used for a photo scavenger hunt if you prefer that type of hunt.
