The Number One Thing to Know about Sanibel Shelling

The Number One Thing to Know about Sanibel Shelling

Sanibel is often referred to as the shelling capital of North America. Strolling the beaches and shallow water surrounding Sanibel and Captiva over 300 species of shells can be discovered.  These treasures are what lure many island visitors.

The number one thing to know for all Sanibel Shelling enthusiast, only take dead shellfish.

To protect this important economic and biological asset, in the late 1980s, the city of Sanibel petitioned the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission (MFC) to restrict live-shelling and the MFC passed a special Sanibel Shelling Rule restricting live collection to two specimens of any one species per day per person.  In addition, non-residents were required to purchase a State saltwater products fishing license.  This rule remained in effect for six years, but it was difficult to enforce.

    That being said, my fiancé and I are visiting again in September to plan our wedding in Sanibel next October (2010!)  I just have to share some of my favorite pictures because it’s almost a year later and I keep flashing them saying every time, “it looks exactly like this EVERY day!”  We can’t wait to hit the Great White Grill this year as my fiancé was raised a Steelers fan in highly popular Redskins territory!  Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do! See you in September, Lisa and Bill!”

    Sanibel Island Beach

    Beaches, Sanibel

    Sanibel Beach“Hi folks!! I just returned from yet another amazing trip to Sanibel, my home-away-from-home!  And I just had to finally send in a picture
    after seeing your fun emails every day!
    This “point of view” photo was taken while I was sitting on the lovely Sanibel beach (lounge chairs are for wimps! haha)….in front of Sanibel Moorings on East Gulf Dr. My boyfriend, Mike, stands at the Gulf’s edge while taking a break from building sand castles. I was just taking it all in and enjoying my three favorite things - Sanibel, the sand between my toes, and the love of my life, Mikey :) I’d love to see this on your site! Take care!”

    Thank you Julie Dressler from Valley Forge, PA, for sending your picture to use! We love to hear from people who love Sanibel and Captiva as much as we do!
