Know before you go
A little care.
A better day out.
Public access
A public Sanibel beach park. Confirm current parking and access with the city, especially after severe weather.
Keep the coast wild
Check swell and beach hazards as well as the tide. Leave occupied shells and living sand dollars in place.

Shells along this shore
Sanibel’s shoreline is known for shelling; finds are never guaranteed.
Look along the strand line as the tide recedes, when access is safe. High-water marks can hold empty shells too; finds are never guaranteed.
No live shelling. Confirm current local limits and park rules.
