\"Shells<\/a><\/p>\n

Shell trip! Clark and I took a beach combing road trip from Sanibel Island to Pass-A-Grille over the weekend … \u00a0and had blast finding lots of shells. We found all of the shells in this next photo as we walked from our hotel Inn On The Beach<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, down to the south tip of the island at jetty rocks to the Pass-a-Grill North Channel.<\/p>\n

It was like an OLIVE garden just at the water’s edge but we even found some of my faves…. \u00a0WORMIES.<\/p>\n

There were lots of shells to pick through on the gorgeous beach as well…<\/p>\n

\"Beach<\/a>
\nI was tickled to find a teeny tiny BROWN-BANDED WENTLETRAP hiding in the mix.<\/p>\n

There is an island right across the channel from the jetty rocks called “Shell Island”. \u00a0What? Shell Island? Of course we had to explore it! There are ferries to take people over to the island but since we wanted to spend all day on the water, we rented a boat. Look at the color of the fabshellous LIGHTNING WHELKS we found. Gorgeous!<\/p>\n

We actually had more luck on the back flats of Shell Island instead of the beach on the Gulf Of Mexico side. There were lots of those empty LIGHTNING WHELKS, oodles of double SUNRAY VENUS shells and some really funny live KINGS CROWNS scooting all along shallow waters so I did a little time lapse video of one of them to show you. Ha!\u00a0Groovy\u00a0KING CROWN dance moves coming up….<\/p>\n
