Title: Good west coast shelling beach !! Post by: Quad32x on July 27, 2005, 12:02:41 PM I would like to take my daughter to a nice , quite beach where she could find some nice shells. Kind of tired of Daytona/Flagler beaches. Would like to find something as far north , but south of Crystal River , as possible on the west coast. Hard to tell anything by looking at a map so plese help me if you can ! Many thanks !!! Tim ;D
