Search guidance

  • Park at a numbered boardwalk and walk between crossovers
  • Search the high-tide line after a nor'easter
  • Never enter marked sea turtle nesting zones

Rules and ethics

  • No live shelling

    Florida law prohibits taking live shellfish, including live queen and horse conch, in many areas. Check every shell for a living animal and return it to the water.
