The best time to find lots of shells on the beaches of southwest Florida is after a storm coming from the Gulf Of Mexico – which is exactly what happened last weekend when Tropical Storm\/Hurricane Hermine came through.<\/p>\n

We never know exactly when or where the shells will start washing in after the storm leaves town but theres nothing more fun than hunting for them high and low. This is also the time to meet lots of other fun-loving shellers on the hunt for those amazing treasures that roll up on our beaches.<\/p>\n

Errrrr\u00a0but wait. There may be something more fun than searching for them… Finding them.<\/p>\n

This type of excitment is exactly what happened at the Sanibel Lighthouse Beach by the fishing pier last weekend. It’s what we shellers wait for and dream about!<\/p>\n

Earlier this week the seas calmed from the storm and the shells weren’t as easy to find so Clark and I headed south to Second Chance Island off \u00a0Marco to explore the outer islands by boat.<\/p>\n

OMG Super Sheller Clark hit the shellmongus jackpot… 2 gorgeous HORSE CONCHS! Thank you Tropical Storm Hermine for stirring up the Gulf Of Mexico just a tad without doing any damage to anything or anyone. You left such beautiful gifts of the sea for us.<\/p>\n
