You can flip them over and touch their "foot" if it moves in easily it is likely dead. They can be tough to acclimate IME, however, often they do not move during the day, but become active at night.
Oh, and if it is stuck to a rock or tough to pull up..it is still alive..can't really do this test if they are in the sand though.

If its alive it shouldn't smell much.
If its dead, it will be one of the worst things you've ever smelled.
You can say that again!
