Post by: Quad32x on July 27, 2005, 12:02:41 PM

I would like to take my daughter to a nice , quite beach where she could find some nice shells. Kind of tired of Daytona/Flagler beaches. Would like to find something as far north , but south of Crystal River , as possible on the west coast. Hard to tell anything by looking at a map so plese help me if you can ! Many thanks !!! Tim ;D

I went to St George Island State Park a few years ago. It is a gulf beach. I still have a ton of sand dollars that we found there. The beach is gorgeous.

sanibel/captiva is pretty good and family oriented. if you have a boat you can pull up to the beach.(ft. myers)
