Best Places For Shelling On Sanibel Island
Bring a bucket, as you’ll need it to collect the many unique shells you will find on Sanibel Island. These are the best places for shelling on Sanibel Island.
- Lighthouse Beach: This is a great first place to visit because there is no shortage of shells, such as Whelks and Cockles. The beach gets its name from the Sanibel Island Lighthouse, which is also well worth a visit if you need a break from shelling or swimming.
- Bowman’s Beach: If you are looking for a beach with an abundance of shells that’s also easy on the eyes, visit Bowman’s Beach. It’s one of the prettiest beaches on the island and the perfect place to snap photos of your unique shells.
- Blind Pass Beach: One thing that sets Blind Pass Beach apart from other shelling beaches is that it is possible to find shells along the bay and gulf side. Your best bet for success here is to keep an eye on the tide chart and visit Blind Pass during the low tide.
- Captiva Island: If you continue heading north from Blind Pass Beach, you will be on Captiva Island. This area is great for walking around, offering gorgeous views in every direction, and it’s also perfect for shelling.
