Gulf Shores Shelling???
Posted: Thu March 20, 2008 09:28 PM UTC
We are considering spending a week this summer in Gulf Shores and was wanting to know the quality of shelling in the area. We normally go to Marco Island Fl where the shelling is excellent. Any input???

I have not been to Gulf Shores in the summer, but I do not think there is shelling like on Marco Island. In order to find whole intact shells you need there to be very little surf.

Come to Gulf Shores for blinding white soft sand and great seafood. Shelling is poor to nonexistent.

Gulf Shores is very different from Marco Island. Clean white soft sand, but very small shells, if you can find them. You can go down around Panama City and take a boat out to Shell Island. But I wouldn't recommend Gulf Shores or any of the "Gulf" areas for shelling. Sorry. Hope you have a great trip!
