Shelling on Sanibel Island draws thousands to the island every year. Island Inn is strategically located at the outer point of the Sanibel Island barrier reef where birds, shells and miles of sandy beaches are found in abundance. Storms, tides and the powerful action of the Gulf of America’s Loop Current import shells of dazzling variety and exotic origin to Sanibel and Captiva islands. Spectacular shelling is the number one reason shellers visit the historic Island Inn!
