Of
the
100
barrier
islands
that
make
up
Florida's
Lee
County,
Sanibel and
Captiva
are
best
known.
Connected
to
the
mainland
by
a
dazzling
three-mile-long
scenic
drive
across
a
causeway
from
the
mainland,
Sanibel
is
known
world-wide
for
its
shelling
and
the
associated
posture
referred
to
as
the
"Sanibel
Stoop."
More
than
200
varieties
of
shells
litter
the
beaches,
particularly
after
an
especially
high
or
low
tide.
The
annual
Shell
Fair
is
attended
by
thousands
of
visitors
from
throughout
the
world.
For
most
visitors,
however,
shelling
is
a
delightful
excuse
to
enjoy
hours
of
sun-worshipping
along
some
of
the
most
beautiful
shoreline
in
North
America
and
to
absorb
the
unspoiled
island
atmosphere
the
natives
work
so
earnestly
to
maintain.
