About This Activity
Nestled along the sun-kissed shores, tucked into rocks and mangrove roots, you will find tiny snails called periwinkles! No bigger than a penny, these miniature mollusks are the perfect study subject for our youngest explorers. There are three species to discover on Sanibel with pointed shells, whorls with flat sides, and shades of wavy brown patterns. They thrive in the intertidal zone, where most others would perish under the harsh conditions. There will be beachcombing, scavenger hunts, snail races, and interactive art projects that bring periwinkle snails to life. Join us for an unforgettable summer where adventure meets the tides!
