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.  The Club season, which begins in late October or early November and continues through March of the next year, includes weekly  shell art workshops, which culminate in the annual Shell Show in March. Evening seminars, varied excursions,  and the end-of-year celebration and annual meeting at the end of March round out the season.

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. 

  NOTE:  Because of the coronavirus, there will be  no general shell art workshops scheduled at this time.  

PLEASE NOTE:  Because of uncertainty as to when club activities will resume in 2021, the club is not accepting applications from new members at this time.
