Discover the magic of shelling
Sanibel Island is known as the “Seashell Capital of the World,” thanks to its unique east-west orientation that naturally collects seashells along its shores. From first-time beachgoers to seasoned collectors, visitors are drawn to the thrill of finding intricate and colorful shells along the Gulf coastline.
Celebrated annually on June 21, National Seashell Day was created to inspire appreciation for coastal ecosystems while spotlighting one of Southwest Florida’s most iconic experiences.
