Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Don't wear shoes that you would be upset to get dirty. If the tide is low, it's nice to walk on the shore. Even when the tide is out, there are still puddles and the sand is wet, so if you want to walk along the shore, just take this into consideration.

Miscellaneous: When the tide is out, there are a lot of seashells. As I walked along the shore, I slowly began picking up interesting seashells but soon found that I had too many to carry. I was with friends, so they gave me a bag to put them in. If you feel that you or someone you are traveling with (like children) may want to collect seashells, just make sure to bring a bag or something to put them in!
