Common Whelk Egg Cases - Buccinum undatum we found lots of these and I wondered what they could be, my first thought was a seaweed of some sort, Whelks never crossed my mind, they are laid and attached to a solid surface, when the first eggs hatch they begin to feed on the other eggs. The empty cases eventually break free - must be a lot of whelks still out there even though they are on the menu in lots of places.
