Best beach to find sand dollars

Answer by:

Hi Sheree,

Thank you for reaching out! I love looking for sand dollars and I have had great success on the beaches on the south side of the island at low tide. It is hit or miss though, some days you will find lots and other days not a single one! Calmer days are best, the delicate sand dollars get crushed on the windy, wavy days. 

My favourite places for sand dollars are Fortune Beach, Little Harbour Beach, and sometimes Basin Head and Souris beaches. These beaches are all located in the Points East Coastal Drive

Happy hunting!

Valerie
