Hi

If you live in Auckland, do you know of any beaches that have copious amounts of large-ish shells to collect?
I'm in charge of doing the craft at Mainly Music for our beach theme and want to do shell necklaces so need some decent size shells but have no idea which beaches would have some. Any ideas?

Pt Chev beach has some good scallop shells and I saw lots of cockle shells at Big Manly beach the other day.
