One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.

Along the beach I never collected shells from my father's shore.

When I was a child growing up in Maine, one of my favorite things to do was to look for sand dollars on the seashores of Maine, because my parents told me it would bring me luck. But you know, these shells, they're hard to find. They're covered in sand. They're difficult to see.

A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.

I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it.

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach.

I'm not a beach person.

I've never been one for sitting on beaches.

I don't really go to the beach.
