Shellers are the Best People
This beautiful charm bracelet with dangling seashells was gifted to me by a fellow sheller.
Shelling and Fishing Charters in the Florida Keys
Seashells in the Florida Keys? You bet! You just have to know where to go.
Anne’s Beach, Islamorada
If you’re looking for an OK beach in the Florida Keys, Anne’s Beach in Islamorada (or Lower Matecumbe) might be what you’re looking for.
Florida Keys Wild Bird Center
I live very close to Key Largo so we head that way quite frequently. My favorite place to stop and visit is the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center in Tavernier.
Janthina (Purple Sea Snails) in the Florida Keys
When the winds blow, the shorelines of the Florida Keys tend to get sprinkled with delicate, beautiful purple sea snails known as janthina janthina. That’s not a typo, they’re so pretty, you have to say the name twice.
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.
No Shells, But Mahi’s On The Menu
The boys went fishing off Islamorada. That’s a dolphin fish (also known as a MAHI MAHI).
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!
True Tulip in Tavernier
I took a drive to the Keys to get my feet-in-the-water fix and I’m so glad I did. While wading in the very shallow water at the Wild Bird Center, I found a big True Tulip.
Key Largo Must-Eats: The Fish House
Next time you’re in the Keys, stop in to the Fish House in Key Largo.
OceanView Inn, Islamorada
Not much luck shelling from the shore in Islamorada today, but I did spend a lovely evening at the OceanView Inn .
Anne’s Beach Gave Up Some Beauties
I got to enjoy a quick visit to Anne’s Beach today in Lower Matecumbe and I found a few beauties.
