She Sells Sea Shells

"My favorite place to pick up unique gifts from the island. Absolutely love it and the staff was super friendly and kind."

"This little shop is so cool! The lady is very friendly. Everything is labeled so you know what all the shells are called! Very good prices on everything here!"

"Only seen the parking lot and front. I think anyone that stayed after the hurricane needs some praise. The island was decimated."

"Every time we are in Sanibel, we shop here. We have so much trouble with the name, so it's become a joke with us that we just call it "she-shell-she-shells", and we all know what we're talking about. :) I have bought so many beautiful shells here over the years and proudly display them in my "beach house" in landlocked Ohio. I hope to call Florida home one day, but right now, I have to bring the beach to Ohio. I don't care that they aren't all from Florida. If we want Florida shells, we typically go looking for them on the beach (so, yes, we do have a TON of fighting conchs). We love seashells, and there are A LOT available here, so it's fun just walking around and looking at stuff. Some are quite inexpensive - and then, you have some that are quite pricey (like, hey $500 Junonia or that huge shell that was like $800???). We just got back from FL, and we shopped here twice in 10 days. Picked up some smaller shells the first trip, but oh, I was eyeing a large Lightning Whelk and a large Murex. Kept thinking about them, so we went back a few days later and got the whelk and a few other shells. I will think about you, Murex, though, pinky promise! Next time, I swear. Or a giant horse conch (which, OMG, makes my teenager laugh every time I say it). Every time we are in Sanibel, we will probably stop here and add to our collection. So glad SSSS has reopened - it totally looks exactly the same as pre-Ian. "
