Shell pile, Oh Shell pile. How I love thee. Manasota Key is famous for fossils & sharks teeth. Only 20 miles north up the SWFL coast from Sanibel some of those shells straggle onto the  beaches of Manasota Key as well. I stumbled upon a stray shell pile up against the seawall at the motel my family is vacationing at on the south end of Manasota Key. Using my Haviana's to sit/kneel on & having my little hand rake to dig with, I attacked that shell pile with all the energy a St. Arbuck's lite mocha frappacino could give me. Stay tuned for a full report of my new favorite beach resort on Englewood Beach.  (Posted from Mobile Blogger via iPhone)

  1. Look at you rockin' that new haircut! Looks like a nice shell pile. The last time I dug around a breaker wall I was looking for a geocache. :-)
