I have been to Sanibel 3 times in the last 4 years. On our middle visit we arrived after a terrible week of storms (also April) and the Penn shells were just awful. Not only did they liter the beach but with them came a horrible odor. We also drove to Captiva everyday. Maybe we were there the same week.

Last year the beaches were fine - not a problem. Our first year we went early in May and the beach has never been as beautiful as it was that year. I guess its all in how you hit it.

I agree with the above poster - bring the water shoes anyway. Sometimes we use them a lot and sometimes not at all.








We have always seen a lot of pen shells. With all of
