Alphabet cone seashell beach find on Sanibel island-1

Oh CONE all ye faithful. With the hustle and bustle of holidays upon us, I managed to take a few breaks to breathe in the calmness of Sanibel and get the beach. My best find this week was this ALPHABET CONE. Joyful and Triumphant!

I found one spot this week that shells were piled a mile high… under the Blind Pass bridge on the Sanibel side. I didn’t find many WHELKS, OLIVES or the other Sanibel Six shells but there were ARKS, KITTENS PAWS, SCALLOPS and SLIPPERS galore.

Clark and I even got up at the crack of dawn over the weekend to see the glorious sunrise.

We only found a few tiny WHELKS…

But the SAND DOLLARS … on my! They were every where at Gulfside City Park.  There were so many this past summer on the beach and they are still there. Wow!

Walking in the water ankle deep, we could see glimpses of these beautiful treasures. Holiday gifts from the sea!
