Beaches are great places for kids and small bears as well as adults. The only real problem is the risk of crab attack. This can be handled by having oldies on guard and keeping to places where you can't see any crab holes. Scruffy and I are examining the shells left by the tide on a beach in Fiji. The big shell is almost as big as Scruffy. I don't know what it is because Dad has misplaced (=lost) our shell book. You have to be careful when looking at shells. Some of them are alive and have nasty stings, and some of them that look dead are the homes of hermit crabs!
P.S. Mum found the shell book. The big one is a broken Triton shell. Tritons are important because they eat the crown-of-thorns starfish which eat corals.
