Sanibel Shell Show
Golden olive creatively displayed at the Sanibel Shell Show.
The Annual Sanibel Shell Show.
This incredible show is put on by the Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club. I have attended this event many times over the years and it always leave me in awe.
There are scientific and artistic divisions that shellers can compete in, and there is also an area for purchasing goods, like books, jewelry, and more.

The shells you will see at this show are incredible!
If you have never been, you should really try to attend.
