    Any sandy public beach should do. I would suggest La Jolla Shores, though. It's a very family-friendly beach, compared to somewhere like Pacific Beach, which is more teen/twenty-something oriented. Go at low tide and look for rocky areas. If you come across some cliffs along the beach, avoid them. These are very unstable and many people get hurt every year from land and rock slides.

    Also, don't go to state reserves, like the tide pools on the end of Point Loma. It's actually illegal to take anything from the beach there, including shells. And, there are periodically park rangers down there to enforce the laws.

    Here's a good site by the San Diego Natural History Museum about shell collecting in San Diego: http://www.sdnhm.org/research/marine-inverts/marif...
