Did you find any shells? My wife and her girlfriends head to Siesta Key in Jan. and usually bring back quite a few. I want them to find some sharks teeth.
We found lots of shells with good variety. While in Siesta Key drive over to Lido Beach. Shelling is much better there and free parking at the very south end at the park. That is where the shelling is best on Lido too. About 30 minutes south of Sarasota is Casperson Park. Lots of sharks teeth there. Bring a sifter.
