I am curious if Fay sent shells to, or away from, the Sanibel shores. Anyone know?

It's about half way between Tarpon Bay Beach and Bowman's Beach so it would be a pretty good walk fro either one. On Sanibel you can walk the whole length of the island if you please. Just remember to pay for your parking.

Here is a link to the City of Sanibel maps.

Click on the one that says 'Parking Zone Map'

Access #7 is the last pink circle on West Gulf Dr.

Slackeranda/Tootie:

Thanks much for the photos you posted on your blog recently. Is it dorky to say that the close up photos of the shell piles with pristine shells on top actually made my heart race?! When I enlarged the pictures, I almost felt like I was really there!

No, you're not a dork! I used to feel the same way before I relocated to Southwest Florida. Cybershelling was a major hobby of mine prior to moving LOL !

Tootie and I both went to the beach yesterday afternoon. We've both blogged it. I didn't find anything stellar, just some standard stuff, which is in the bleach bath at the moment. It was a wonderful afternoon and early evening on the beach :D
