Seashells

Collecting seashells, sometimes called conchology as a more formal study, is a hobby centered on gathering, identifying, and displaying the exoskeletons left behind by mollusks like snails, clams, and scallops after washing ashore. Enthusiasts often beachcomb specific coastlines known for diverse shell life, and some collectors specialize in rare or exotic species from around the world. The hobby overlaps with interests in marine biology, art (using shells in crafts), and travel to shell-rich beaches.
