While I was on vacation at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, I stumbled upon various tiny clams on the beach. They were so pretty that I had to collect them! At first I wasn't sure if they were alive, but I saw some trying to burrowing into the sand.Sadly they were too small to eat :(
In the sandy shores of coastal waters. They are shellfish that are indigenous to South Carolina

Pretty but I wouldn't have killed them just to bring home
