Having a macro lens is great fun. You can find interesting things to capture everywhere.
Like this small limpet shell that has wonderful colors and some pieces of sand inside of it.

We have several kinds of limpets here in Hawaii, too. The Hawaiian name for limpets is “opihi,” and in some areas whole families go regularly to rocky areas along the coast to pick opihi at low tide (to eat). They are very hard to pry from the rocks while they are still alive.
