Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Hints
Where can I find the shells I need?
1 of 5: They're down on the beach. Where else?
2 of 5: To reach the beach from the necklace table, back up, go back toward the house, then turn left and follow the path down past the empty surfer shack to the beach.
3 of 5: There are five places on this tiny little strip of sand where you can find shells: under the pier at the water's edge, next to the big boulder, in the little tidepool, on the black strip that looks like tire marks, and under the bent-over palm tree. That's it.
4 of 5: After you check them all, turn around and walk back, checking them all again. The shells respawn (that is, after you pick them up, wait a bit and some new ones will appear) every couple of minutes. If you walk up and down and there aren't any, try standing watching the waves for a bit, then try again.
5 of 5: And I hope you're enjoying the beach, because sometimes this takes a VERY long time.
