I know this is an old post but maybe you can help me anyway. My sisters (and their kids ages 8&9) and mother and I go to Sanibel every year in February. We check out your blog to get pointers while we’re there.

This year, my sister’s friend raved about Gasparilla state park and she wants to go. I am not sure it’s worth a two hour drive with 7 people in a minivan. I’m interested in any insights. We’re only here for 8 days including travel days.

Thanks
Helen

The small bivalve shell you found may actually be a crossbar venus clam rather than a juvenile southern quahog. They are often found after being dredged as they are deeper water clams! If so, that sure is a nice find!! Happy Shelling! : )

Hello fellow Ontario shello – err, I mean, sheller!
Sea glass is really nice here :)
I used to visit the small beaches in Kingston to pick some up! Was closest I could come to shelling in summer!
