Can I use a regular bag for shell collecting?

You can, but it might get sandy and wet. Shell bags are made for the beach, so they work better.

What size bag is best?

If you're just starting out, a medium-sized mesh bag is perfect. Big enough for fun, not too bulky.

Easy! Just shake out the sand, rinse with water, and let it air dry.

Yes, most shell bags are made with mesh or holes so water and sand can drain easily. That keeps your shells clean and your bag light.

Absolutely! There are smaller, lightweight shell bags made just for kids. They're easy to carry and fun to use.
