Wanderlust Wednesday - Seashelling on Sanibel

Sanibel Island, Florida

 

One of the things that I absolutely LOVE to do whenever I go to a beach is collect seashells. 
I also collect sand from all the beaches I have gone to and I take a picture.  This is part of what I do to collect vacation memories.  I have another post here about the other things that I do. My goal is to put together a set of shadow boxes that feature sand, seashells(or other beach surprises), and a picture of that beach to display in my house.   This at least is my summer craft goal this year haha.

 

Sanibel Island is considered by many to be one of THE premier places to collect seashells.  Because of the beaches unique east to west direction it collects tons of seashells from the Gulf of Mexico.  People from all over the place come to collect seashells from here.  I can attest to the multitudes of seashells that you can find on this beach.  That fact was one of the reasons why on our trip down to the Keys I wanted to stop here.  My family had a great time collecting seashells and walking along the beach.  The white sand is beautiful, not as fine as the the beaches by Sarasota but still very fun to walk.  We went in March and it was on the cold side.  This was great because it meant that there were not tons of people hanging out on the beach with us, but it did make for some very chilly waters.  At least in my opinion haha. 

Trying to collect as many as we can before the sun goes down.



The beach is beautiful so grab a bucket and come do the "Sanibel Stoop" as its called!
