Shells of Florida-Gulf of Mexico: A Beachcomber’s Guide to Coastal Areas

This is a waterproof, fold-out guide with lots of clear photos. It has info you need to identify a particular shell. I bought this to use with my young grandson and it will be great to take to the beach.

I bought this for a trip we took to Florida, one of the spots we were visiting was Sanibel so I thought it would be fun to have this guide. We loved having it! So nice to have it laminated, I didn’t have to worry about the kids getting it wet and sandy while we were at the beach. We took the shell guide in the beach bag with us whenever we went to the beach it helped us identify everything from shells to, egg casings and man grove seeds and even bones we found. My girls spent hours pulling out all their shells and matching them up to the pictures. Great investment for many future trips!

Perfect handy guide to stick in your beach bag!

Love love love it. Just what I needed. Bought one for myself and my fiancés mom who lives in Florida. She takes it to the beach and helps with her Shelling! I love that it’s waterproof and the images are clear. It even has a small ruler printed on the back so you can measure your shells! 10/10

I'm giving this 4 stars because it is useful for shelling and is laminated, so it's waterproof. My one critique is that there are several pictures of bleached out shells that are actually very colorful, so it can be confusing for someone who has never been shelling before.

Shells are grouped by type for easy identification. Beautiful pictures and it is nicely laminated.

Omg what a FANTASTIC product! I was not expecting this to be as nice as it was. It contains TONS of info and every shell ive collected of the beaches of Sarasota are identified in it. I love that it’s laminated so I can take it with me to the beach without worry that the ocean or wet sand will destroy it. I love the ruler on the edge of it and the pictures are crisp and clear. Could not be happier! Do not hesitate to buy this item....it’s wonderful!

This is a fairly priced, durable, very informative nature guide. We used it need Dt George Island Florida and didn’t find anything on beach that wasn’t included in this booklet. Also- used by 3 elementary kids who are rough/careless with materials and it’s still in nice shape!

Bought this laminated guide for a trip to Florida, with the view to using it on the beach with my daughter who enjoys shelling. It's a great little guide for anyone interested in shelling and seashore finds. We used it on the beach, in the hotel and back at home to identify our finds. Great value and very informative. Plus, the fact that it is laminated means it lasts and can be used and laid flat on the beach. A great purchase - highly recommended.
