Shellabrating & the Sanibel Stoop

With so many wonderful festivals and things to do in Naples, I don't always write about happenings outside of our immediate area - there are simply too many local events in Naples, Marco Island and The Everglades to talk about.  Personally, I have found shelling on remote beaches like 32nd Avenue in Naples to be quite a treasure-hunt so would think twice before heading to other cities to look for shells. 

The Sanibel Stoop

However, Sanibel Island has a reputation to be the most spectacular shelling beach in the known Universe. The Sanibel week-long Shellabration provides a wonderful day-trip for visitors in the area.  Shellabration! 2012 is an island wide "Shellabration" of the 75th Anniversary of the Shell Fair & Show. 

Sanibel locals boasts a socially correct posture for shell-seeking aka the Sanibel Stoop, which feature one doubled over at a perfect 90-degree curve in which the posterior is the highest point facing the sky. 

The 75th Annual Sanibel Shell Show & Fair will take place beginning March 1 and run through March 3rd.
