Sandbar Shelling Excursions

​​Our sandbar shelling excursions provide a unique opportunity to explore Sarasota’s pristine sandbars, accessible only by boat. These shallow, sandy areas are teeming with marine life and are ideal spots for shelling enthusiasts to discover a variety of seashells, including the locally renowned buttercup lucine. As you wade through the clear waters, you’ll also have the chance to encounter various sea creatures, making it a delightful experience for both children and adults.

With Siesta Key Sea Turtle Nature Tours, every encounter with dolphins and manatees becomes a story worth telling. Our expert guides know the hidden coves, grass flats, and mangrove channels where these incredible animals thrive, giving you the best chance for up-close (yet respectful) viewing. Whether it’s a pod of dolphins weaving through the wake or a gentle manatee rising for air just feet from the boat, you’ll witness Florida’s marine life in its purest form. These moments—unscripted, wild, and wondrous—are the heart of what makes our tours unforgettable.
