Shelling and Beach Walks at Sundial Resort

About this event

Join marine biologists and educators from the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium for guided walks along Sanibel’s shores at Sundial Resort in search of shells and other forms of local marine life. Learn about some of the island’s most beloved and rare shells as well as the mollusks that grow them.

As you gain tips on shelling and find shells, you learn how to identify them and what makes them unique. You will also learn how mollusks fit into our local beach ecosystems that also include birds, turtles, and a wide range of tropical wildlife.

Shelling and Beach Walks are approximately 45-60 minutes. Attendees are encouraged to wear sunscreen and bring a water bottle and a bag for the shells you collect. Participants under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

All walks will begin at 9am. Maximum of 10 participants.
