I'm looking for places where sea shells can be reliably found along the beach. I'm open to islands, State parks, etc.

How is the shelling on St. George Island and Cape San Blas?

Yep. Not panhandle of course, but Sanibel/Captiva are some of the best shelling beaches in the country. Just not right now. Frown

We spend a week or so a year around Santa Rosa Beach in the panhandle. The shelling is not good. Much better around Sanibel.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I'm very familiar with Sanibel, but I am looking for alternatives given no one has any idea when things might clear up there.

Go to Sarasota and see Sally. Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Yeah, the Panhandle kinda sucks for shells and sand dollars. Sometimes it's decent but oftentimes its just a churn of tiny broken bits.

With that being said the beaches are still amazing, just not conducive to sea shells. Big Grin
