Collecting
MAUI
BEACH
GLASS
Shell collecting in Hawaii is frowned upon if you plan to actually
remove the shells from the beach. However, walking down the beach
and collecting shells to photograph is highly recommended.
Try taking pictures of small shells placed into your palm or around
your belly button. One of the best portrait photography companies on
the island actually does a photo shoot in which they will place shells
and leis on the beach around or on your family and then recreate these
precious images on t-shirts, mugs and other great gis.
Collecting
SHELLS
ON
MAUI
STEP ONE: Get a container to collect the glass in. Paper or plastic
cups work best, but a Ziploc bag works too.
STEP TWO: Get your beach clothes and sunscreen on. Plan to get
either a little wet or completely soaked. Bring a towel and a hat, and
goggles if you're really brave.
STEP THREE: Pick a beach. We recommend in front of
Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina or Kam III in Kihei.
STEP FOUR: Start looking carefully. If need be, go into the water
with goggles. row sharp pieces back into the ocean for more
sanding. Blues, reds, and turquoise are the most rare.
STEP FIVE: Display in a jar, dish or glass box.
