“Sanibel is one of the unique barrier islands of the world, having an east-west orientation when most islands are north-south. Hence, the island is gifted with great sandy beaches and an abundance of shells, winning awards for being the best shelling beach and one of the best beaches in Florida.” Sanibel-Captiva dot org
“Sanibel happens to be North America’s unofficial seashell capital. It’s home to the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum, the world’s only reference center devoted to the study of conchology (mollusk shells) and malacology (mollusks themselves), and to more than 250 species of seashells, including buttercup lucines, rare spotted junonias, spiky lace murex and Tampa drills.” - Laura Bannister for Vogue Magazine
