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

Every single time I step on the beach of Cayo costa… its different. Its truly fascinating to see it change so drastically and which part of the beach\u00a0the shells pile up. \u00a0The last few months, we had to walk down to the right to find the shells washed up and before that we found them to the left. This time as soon as we stepped on the beach on our iLoveShelling cruise with Captiva Cruises, we saw loads of shells right in front of us.<\/p>\n

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

Its so much fun to see the different shells everybody finds.<\/p>\n

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

Lots of Sanibel Stoops … Or Cayo Conch Crouch? heehee<\/p>\n
