SEASIDE -- Walk any beach of the Oregon Coast, and you’ll find something new.

Walk the two-mile boardwalk in Seaside, and expect to discover the unexpected.

On this sunny day, walkers found bluebells scattered along paths through the sand dunes, and seashells on the boardwalk.

Four cousins had gathered sand dollars, clams and other shells for sale outside their grandmother’s home.

Asked what they would do with their new cash, seven-year-old Sarah Shields eyed the profits and said, “candy! maybe toys! maybe toys and candy!”

The cousins were from Oregon and California, and had found large sand dollars by the handful on Seaside beaches.

Many walkers stopped to shop.

Happy at their regular sales, the littlest ones skipped all over the sidewalk, including Grace Puleo, 3, and Paige Pierce, who proudly declared she was “3 and one quarter.”

They were joined by Hailey Pierce, 6, and watched by Mom, Courtney Pierce, of Portland.

The girls said they also sell lemonade at their sidewalk stand in summer, so visitors can expect more surprises along the north Oregon Coast.
