Snatching Seashells on the Seashore

One of the most enjoyable and relaxing activities in Naples FL, is shell collecting on the beaches of Naples.

If you like the beach, the sun, the sea breeze and something interesting to do, go shelling! I have found Vanderbilt Beach to have some of the prettiest seashells. There are so many intact shells, you don't have to settle for broken ones -- unless you want to! And you don't have to sit or lie in one place, feeling hot and bored, to enhance your tan!

Shelling provides a great opportunity to soak up some rays(wear adequate SPF, of course), while passing the time, searching for the "perfect" shell. If you're feeling a little too warm, walk in the water -- or get really brave and dive in! If you're equipped with a mask, you can find some rare beauties, even before they've reached the shore.

Try shell collecting. It's one of my favorite things to do in Naples. It's also a wonderful educational family activity.

Yes...collecting sea shells is very relaxing.

I've collected shells on the Florida coast & on Padre Island in Texas.

Sometimes, my children, would get lucky & find a perfect sand dollar!

Thank you for your blog.

The star fish are out... and it's great to look at these babies! At low tide, we saw at least 3 of them with 10 points!

Of course you should always respect live shells. Just to look at them under the water is awesome!
