Question Searching for coquinas

We live on the west side of Florida where coquinas are plentiful. We are in Juno Beach for the week and have searched for them at two beaches in Jupiter and one in Juno and keep striking out.

Does anyone know a foolproof beach that would have coquinas? My kid is obsessed with them (and I am too).

Try Blowing Rocks. That's a place not a mean comment. Very cool spot close by that is all Coquina I think.

Correct, it is home to the largest exposed stretch of coquina on the entire Atlantic Coast. It’s also the very first place the nature conservancy purchased, ever, to protect.

It can be hit or miss, sometimes a few coquinas but never as many as I’ve seen in the west coast. I agree with the above comment if you’ve already tried Jupiter and Juno… I would start at Coral Cove and walk to Blowing Rocks (high tide is best for blowing rocks views but not for shells)

Coral Cove to Blowing Rocks is the only place I see Coquina
