Sanibel Island Beach Resort is Open
As Sanibel and Captiva recover from Hurricane Ian, restaurants and resorts are opening slowly but surely. I recently stayed at the Sanibel Island Beach Resort on Middle Gulf and loved the experience.

Little Palm Island: Luxury in the Lower Keys
Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in the Lower Keys is so spectacular, you’ll be pinching yourself over and over to be sure you’re not dreaming. It’s like going to the Pacific Islands — but don’t need a passport and it’s a whole lot closer!

Happy Valentine’s Seashells
Just a quick wish for a Happy Valentine’s Day! Has anyone ever surprised you with something like this? I usually get dinner, no shell art. Dang!

OceanView Inn, Islamorada
Not much luck shelling from the shore in Islamorada today, but I did spend a lovely evening at the OceanView Inn .

Sunset at Sanibel Causeway
Happy New Year and a great year of shelling!

I Found A Kitten Paw – Sort Of
Well, it’s not a seashell, but look what I found on the side of US 27 today!

Homestead Bayfront Park
Have you been to Bayfront Park in Homestead, Florida? I didn’t find any shells as I walked along the water’s edge, but I did have some good fish tacos at La Playa.

Sand Sculptures On The Beach
I just love when I stumble upon sand art like this. These two were basking in the sunshine on Middle Gulf Drive on Sanibel.

Beach Lightning
Well, I got up early before the sun to do a little shelling, but when I got to the beach, this is what I saw – lightning in the sky.

Shello, shellers!
Hi. Here’s a quick intro. My name is Jill and I’m a seashell freak. I love them. I especially love to hunt for them on the beaches of Southwest Florida (or anywhere for that matter).
