Florida park an island of relaxation to itself
The tops of the handful of graves were adorned with crosses made of seashells, and live oak, pines, and shells bordered the area. (The Calusa Indians lived in this area for centuries before being driven out in the early 1700s.) Our favorite sunset spot was a lagoon shielded from the shoreline breeze and full of jumping fish and diving birds. One resident alligator keeps swimmers away. We also joined other stooped, eagle-eyed shell collectors at the beach. (The park service has put up a shell identification board, but unfortunately runs no interpretive programs.) "Everyone talks about shelling in Sanibel, but these are the best shells I've ever seen because they're so big," said Diane DeQuinzio of Tega Cay, S.C., who encouraged admirers to take specimens from her bounty. For a different vantage point, kayaking is a great way to explore the island, which is on the route of the Great Calusa Blueway water trail.
