There were lots of Calico Scallops and Pen Shells but I think since it was so busy with lots of people, it had been picked over by the time I got there. It was a little better shelling off Middle Gulf Drive. I snapped this photo of a FLIGHTING CONCH that had just washed up and saw a few more larger shells starting to come in too. Tomorrow I think Blind Pass and any where on the east end of Sanibel will be the best places to find the best shells.
