Peggy's Shell Corner
Enjoy the wonderful world of Peggy's shelling adventures! From unique shells to fun crafts, Peggy shares one of her most loved hobbies with you. It's one of the many things to do here in Hobe Sound!
Queen Conch!
Cradled in my hand, this vibrant queen conch is one of those rare treasures the tide offers up only now and then—a little reminder that every walk on our Hobe Sound shoreline holds its own surprise waiting just beneath the waves and whispering sand.
Queen conch shells grow in a beautiful spiral and can reach up to about 12 inches long, with that signature thick, flared lip and rosy-pink interior that makes each one look like a natural work of art.
Cowrie Shell
Tucked into the sand and seaweed, this glossy cowrie looks like a tiny polished gem—one of those small seaside surprises that makes a simple stroll along Hobe Sound Beach feel a little more magical.
Cowrie shells stay unusually smooth and glossy because the living snail actually wraps its soft mantle over the outside of the shell, constantly polishing and protecting it as it grows, which is why they look like tiny, hand‑polished stones in the sand.
