Turn any beach into a treasure hunt with this beautifully illustrated book packed with surprising and delightful wonders of nature.

Looking for seashells and learning their names is the perfect way to explore Britain’s coastline at leisure. It’s a nostalgic, simple pleasure, and a way to discover some of nature’s most exquisite wonders. From the common cockle to the blue-rayed limpet, The Shell Spotter’s Guide covers the beautiful and surprising range of mussels, oysters, periwinkles, scallops, cowries, and whelks found on our beaches.

This beautifully illustrated book, written by marine biologist Helen Scales, is the perfect companion for all aspiring shell spotters.
