Animal Crossing New Horizons is a game that keeps rewarding dedicated players. As gamers explore its wilderness, they will encounter plenty of resources and materials that have multiple uses. These can range from fruits plucked from trees around the meadows to just items lying around on the beach. The latter area, in particular, is very interesting. This is because it has many seashells lining the coastline often. While these items come in many variants, among the most striking ones is the Summer Shell.But how exactly can players get their hands on one? Does it have any specific uses? Here is everything you need to know about the Summer Shell in Animal Crossing New Horizons.Where to find Summer Shells in Animal Crossing New HorizonsNiftu Cal@NiftuCal15It’s Summer Shell Season!

It is vibrant blue in color, with deeper blue stripes. This not only makes it one of the most distinct seashells, but also among the most visually striking. As with all marine materials, it is found on the beach area of the island in Animal Crossing New Horizons. You are bound to encounter one just by walking around, so be sure to scour the place for potential spawns.However, as with many other elements in this game — like bugs and marine life — specific shells spawn periodically throughout the year. As the name suggests, it appears during the summer season. As such, players in the Northern Hemsiphere can expect to find them frequently from June to August.Those in the Southern Hemisphere, meanwhile, will need to wait until December and will be able to obtain Summer Shells until the end of February.These items can be sold for a decent 600 Bells a piece at vendors like Nook's Cranny. Bells are the main currency in this game and are primarily obtained by selling items found around the world.So if you find yourself short on money, trading in some Summer Shells may not be a bad idea. But is there more to them?
