Visit Big Shell Beach, Padre Island National Seashore, Texas
Big Shell Beach (usually referred to as simply "Big Shell") extends from approximately 17 miles south of Closed Beach to 28 miles south. The shells making up Big Shell mostly are common arcs, coquina, cockles, and quahogs, as at Little Shell, but they are bigger than the ones at Little Shell and thus the name.
Big Shell Beach is located where the southerly long shore currents meets the South Beach. The southerly current deposits shells a little bigger on the beach immediately south of Little Shell Beach. Shells found at both locations are usually of very common types. Both beaches tend to have very loose sand making driving normally difficult.
