Half-Day Super Shelling Tour

+5 photos
What You’ll Find
Expect sand dollars, lightning whelks, alphabet cones, tulip shells, and—on lucky days—the elusive Junonia. Captains share quick tips on reading bars, seams, and wrack lines, so every stop feels rewarding.
Where We Go
Routes commonly include Caxambas Pass, Kice Island, and “Second Chance” Shell Island in the Ten Thousand Islands. Captains choose the best beaches depending on the time of the year, tide, and local conditions.
Learn as You Go
Your Florida Master Naturalist–trained captain blends shelling technique with island history and marine-life insights. Families also hear gentle reminders about ethics: admire living shells and leave them where they belong.
