The activity of searching along a beach, typically at the waterline, for objects of value or interest such as shells, sea glass, or salvage.
English gerund formed from 'beachcomb' (to search the beach) + '-ing' (the continuous form of a verb), creating a noun for the activity itself.
Beachcombing is experiencing a modern renaissance as people discover 'sea glass' (frosted discarded bottles) is beautiful, turning the activity of finding trash into an environmental statement about plastic waste.
