CDFG

Question: Is it legal to pick up sand dollars on the beaches of San Francisco, with or without a fishing license, even though some are still alive -- purple in color with hair (fuzz)?

Answer: If you are in an area where tidal invertebrates may be taken, you may take and/or possess up to 35 live sand dollars. A current sport fishing license is required for anyone 16 years of age or older. A license is not required to pick up empty shells. See Section 29.05 in the Ocean Sport Fishing regulations booklet for a list of areas where it is legal to take fish from the beach/tidepool areas.
