shell warehouse

Though the difficulty of finding shells in a Key West store is about as challenging as locating a Slurpee in a 7-Eleven, most of what's available is banal at best. Don't let that stop you from visiting the Shell Warehouse. There are so many unexpected surprises here—gorgeous polished, pearlized African turbo shells ($10), taxidermied blowfish ($4), gigantic dyed red starfish ($5), and back-scratchers made from real alligator feet ($3)—that the place makes shopping feel like some fantastic treasure hunt (you never know what you'll find next).
