The term BEACH FIND is used to describe items that can be found on a beach. These items include shells, conchs, DRIFTWOOD, seashells, and sand dollars. Shells are small, hard-shelled objects that can be found in the ocean or on the beach. Conchs are large, spiral-shaped shells that are often found in tropical waters. DRIFTWOOD is wood that has been washed up onto the shore by the waves. Seashells are the empty shells of marine mollusks that have been washed up onto the beach. Sand dollars are flat, round objects that are found on the beach and are made of calcium carbonate.
