Experts crown Sanibel, off Fort Myers in Southwest Florida, as the best U.S. shelling spot, and one of the best in the world. Seashells cover the beaches, tinkling like wind chimes as they tumble over one another in the waves. Low-key development, abundant wildlife, and great restaurants make the island a wonderful all-around getaway; 800/237-6444 or fortmyers-sanibel.com .
I found the name rather funny for a nude beach but perhaps that is me! Its a typical Florida Gold Coast beach in that it is wide and very white sand. However, it is the only official nude beach in the State, I understand.
