Looking for something a little different this Easter? Skip the eggs and dive into The Great Seashell Hunt on Boca Grande!
This year they’re bringing back one of the island’s favorite family events at the Port Boca Grande Lighthouse & Museum, and it’s a tradition your kids won’t forget. Mark your calendar for Wednesday, April 1 at 11 a.m., because the beach is calling.
Here’s a fun fact: When lighthouse keepers called this place home, eggs were hard to come by. The solution? For their spring celebrations, they hunted for seashells instead.
In 2025, they’re keeping that lovely old tradition alive, but adding our own spin. Think of it as equal parts adventure and learning, all wrapped up with Florida sunshine and salty air.
What’s in store? You’ll get the inside scoop on the coolest shells found on our barrier islands; some you’ve probably never seen before. Then grab your bucket, hit the sand, and get hunting. Your best discoveries score outstanding prizes, with every sun-kissed moment turns into a family memory.
If you’ve got little explorers aged 2 to 12, this is the spot for them. Spots go quick, so save yours now by clicking here.
See you by the shore!
