Florida is known for having some really spectacular roadside attractions and unique experiences. I mean, you can visit a gargantuan coral castle that was built in the 1920s, for instance. But if the next time you’re looking for a unique place to explore, let’s say the largest retailer of seashells in the WORLD, or also the largest collection of taxidermy in North America, then this is the place to check out.
The Shell Factory is an old-school roadside attraction in Fort Myers, Florida that has been around for nearly 80 years.
