Prized Treasures Waiting To Be Discovered
Stroll along on a peaceful white-sand beach, the warm sun high in the sky, a refreshing ocean breeze blowing. Amidst the magic of the pure unspoiled shore, search for the perfect shell. Renowned for its vibrant array of seashells, Captiva Island offers a memorable quest for timeless mementos washed ashore.

The Perfect Souvenir From Our Florida Gulf Coast Hotel And Resort

Discover Captiva Island - one of the best places in the world to collect seashells. Begin your search along the shore of this timeless Gulf Coast hotel. The island is part of a plateau, which extends into the Gulf of Mexico for miles, serving as a shelf for seashells to collect. The unique geography of the island acts like a scoop for dislodged shells. Tides push the shells up onto beach of our unspoiled Florida Gulf hotel resort. Some useful tips for finding a cherished keepsake include:
  • Shelling, best done at low tide and after a storm
  • Taking of live shells, prohibited by Florida law
  • Collecting, best in a bucket or bag
  • Wearing water shoes, for your protection
  • Shuffling feet while walking, to disturb resting stingrays
  • Soaking, in 50/50 mix of bleach and water removes leathery skin and barnacles
  • Brushing, removes additional barnacles
  • Filing, smoothes rough edges
  • Wiping, with baby or mineral oil gives it shine
