Walking along a beautiful stretch of beach for about half a mile from one end to the other is a great way to get around the island. Walking on a sandy beach is the best option.
The best time to find sanddollars is between low tide and high tide. This is when the sea pulls back on the beach and expands it. You can find the best low tide times on beaches that are open during the new or full moons. People prefer to search for shells at low tides in the morning.
