It's the best place if you can access it.

Early mornings are obviously the best & also check the tides, as tides that are "OUT" suit best. There's fewer shells and the sand is more even and not loose.

And avoid other peoples pets at all times.

Don't forget to check her for sand toes if you are doing it regularly, Conor.

Conor, the sand can get built up under the nail quicks and can cause infection and soreness if not cleaned or hosed out regularly.
