If you reword the sentence, it will make things easier. In English, most sentences have the structure of SVO (subject, verb, object), with prepositional phrases at the beginning or end of the sentence, or after the subject or object. This sentence has the structure of VS (verb, subject) (there is no object) with the prepositional phrase at the beginning. "On the sand" is the prepositional phrase. We will put this at the end of the sentence. To order this sentence correctly, we must switch the subject and the verb (VS to SV). Now the sentence reads, "A beautiful seashell lay on the sand." "Seashell" is the subject.
Note: "Beautiful" is not part of the subject, it is only an adjective modifying the subject.
