Must have! Used for Marco Island, FL
Bought this for Marco Island, FL, amazing guide! Short, to the point, had all the shells that we found and for some shells it gives explanations behind their names which makes it so much easier to remember the names. Highly recommend! By the end of our stay, remembered almost all the shells by heart thanks to this guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Particular for a Vacation to Sanibel / Captiva
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2013
Verified Purchase
We got this map-sized folding guide for a vacation to the Sanibel / Captiva area and it was just what we needed.

We enjoy the beach and boating, and we occasionally collect shells but we're not serious "shell collectors". As you may have found there are several lengthy books which go into serious shelling detail, and they tend to have broader geographic coverage, like all of Florida. The big reference books also tend to focus on only shells or only birds or other sea life.

Instead, this folding guide covers just Sanibel/Captiva and just enough of the local shells, as well as other beach life ...enabling you to identify what you're really likely to see and find in this particular area.

Plus it's laminated = waterproof and pocket-able, so we were much more inclined to actually bring it along whether out on the boat, walking the beach, or headed out to dinner.

So, for the casual beach-goer, the "pages-per-dollar" may be pretty low, but the actual "use-per-dollar" is off the charts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to the review hype! A must for Marco Island

Sturdy and it held up at the beach. I will say we found more of these shells in Marco Island where we stayed then in Sanibel so if you don’t have luck in Sanibel, go to Marco Island at Tiger Tail. We loved having this book though, my kids had tremendous satisfaction being able to label their shells and know which was a rare find truly made the hint that much worth it.

Will be taking this to the beach on our summer trip to Sanibel - the pictures are so pretty and clearly identify all the treasures we will find. And, it's WATERPROOF! Great purchase!

This is the best little pamphlet type book. It's completely laminated. I have other shell books but this is my favorite. It's easy to take with you because it's small and the price is right.

Great to buy before you come to Sanibel. They are sold for $10-15 in the island. Definitely useful and fun for kids to see what kind of shells they collected and what's rare or not.
