Welcome
The Marco Island Shell Club is a friendly and dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for shell enthusiasts at all levels of interest and expertise. Our mission is to promote the study, conservation, history, and science of seashells and mollusks, and to encourage shell-related interests, such as shell collecting, crafting and shell art. The Club season, which begins in early November and continues through March of the next year, includes weekly shell art workshops. The projects completed at workshops become the property of the club and are sold to raise money for scholarships and grants. Seminars, varied excursions, and the end-of-year celebration and annual meeting at the end of March round out the season.
PLEASE NOTE: Since we have reached our capacity for weekly workshops, we are no longer accepting new membership applications or renewals for 2022. If you would like to join the club, but not participate in the weekly workshops please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
An integral part of the mission of the Marco Island Shell Club, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is to "promote the study, conservation, science, history and appreciation of seashells and mollusks in all their forms..." The Club depends upon the proceeds from the holiday sale in late fall and the annual Shell Show in March to underwrite scholarships and grants.
You can also help directly by donating.
