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? ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

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

We were down at Pt Chev the other night - I didnt think it was "that" shelly, I seem to recall that Mangere Bridge beach was quite shelly.
