THE SHELL FACTORY is an old-school roadside attraction that has been tucked away on the outskirts of North Fort Myers, Florida (35 minute away from our property), for about 80 years. While it has a lake with bumper boats, a couple of restaurants, a nature park, botanical gardens, and a zipline, its two big claims to fame are being the largest seashell retailer in the world and having the largest taxidermy collection in North America.
Despite its location away from the beaten path of tourist attractions along the beaches, the Shell Factory has a certain charm and a surprising number of attractions. The Nature Park has hundreds of exotic and domestic animals (many are rescues), restaurants and bars, a dog park, and mini golf, all squeezed together around their massive shell store and year-round Christmas shop.
What is truly odd is the collection of taxidermy, with examples from all over the world, which got grafted onto a shell retailer.

Captiva Island, located 40 minutes away from our property, is often associated with the neighboring island of Sanibel to the south.
Both are all about the outdoors – biking, sailing, birding and water activities abound. A sliver of land nestled against the state’s southwest coast,
Captiva Island has a slightly off-kilter and almost magical feel. You might discover a giant frog in Captiva Island, a restaurant where it’s Christmas all year long, or even a tiny starfish.
