Hello fellow shell lovers! We have had a few people attending our meet-at-beach outings! More fun get-togethers are planned.
Here are a couple of activities for shell club members only:
Friday, June 17: Boat Trip from Marco Island to Keewaydin Island for shelling. We will meet at 7:45am to board our Hemingway Water Shuttle boat for the short ride to the island. The cost is about $50. We will return to the harbor with our treasures about noon. Reminder: There are no bathrooms on the island or the boat.
Keewaydin Island is a barrier island located within the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Reserve. It is bordered by a small waterway to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. The island is currently 15% privately owned and 85% public lands. The island is only accessible by boat.
Tuesday June 21: Celebrate the First Day of Summer! We will have a “Meet and Greet” at Lighthouse Beach at the picnic table area at 9am. Come and meet your fellow Shell Club members, especially our NEW members.
Your hosts will be Kathy Kenley talking about tides and kayak shelling and Linda Hines talking about shelling and our club benefits.
Bring your own snack and beverage plus any shells you need help identifying.
July Outing: We hope to have another “Meet and Greet” in July and will provide details in a separate email.
