Well they cannot really be the top 10 shelling beaches with statements like the ones they make, " As with most West Coast shores, the hunting here doesn't compare with that along the Gulf."
Why would they write that? Doesn't that mean that the top 10 is not really the top 10 if they are saying that it really doesn't compare to the good shelling in other places?

The best shells I have ever seen were on Mexico's Pacific coast, probably 80 miles or so south of Puerta Vallarta. Sin gringos, sin ninos, sin ciudads;pescadores y mariscos solomente

I loved collecting shells on Sanibel Island. I brought home buckets and buckets. It was on our honeymoon and I had never been to the gulf. Those shells have come in handy with decorating, crafts and school work. Sam did a science fair project of shell classification. I had a postcard of Florida seashells and we found every one. She mounted and labeled all the shells on posterboard. It was definitely one of the most fun projects the kids have done.
We have a jillion shells from Sanibel also. I've made about as much shell crafts as anyone can take so Beach Bummette is going to be accepting a donation. (Hooray!) Between Sunny Daze's haul and a basket or two from me, BB should have her tabbly fireplace in no time.
I really like Sanibel. Very good friends of ours own down there and we love staying with them and exploring the island and the water. Though we haven't been down in more than two years, thanks to this other beach that grabbed our affections...

You're welcome. I'm glad all the Sanibel shell foraging expeditions will be put to good use. I have a real soft spot for tabby. Can't wait to see it when it's all done!!
