nice shot! :) i like those clams!

Thanks! Yes they were beautiful, I felt quite sad that they had been washed up - I wasn't sure if they would survive

I am more familiar with Western Atlantic (New England), but, they look like a type of Razor clam or possible some kind of white Mussel?

Yes I wondered about mussels too - very pretty, whatever they are! :-)
