The Shell Gallery “It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire.” - Robert Louis Stevenson The Shell Gallery is truly an exceptional place to visit, with its fascinating display of sea shells from all over the world. It is arguably the largest sea shell shop in the Caribbean, and in her tireless search to obtain shells that are unique, owner Anne Smith offers some of the world’s most rare and exotic sea shells. The Gallery also carries a selection of ceramics, picture frames, jewellery, elegantly crafted shell boxes and other unique gifts all with a sea shell theme. Complementing the spectacular display of shells and gifts are an attractive array of locally hand crafted shell related items, and the exclusive Seaboard line of exquisite imported china. Since its inception, this delightful gallery continues to captivate the avid shell enthusiast and all who visit. Anne and her charming staff are very knowledgeable and helpful - it’s no wonder so many visitors return year after year. The Shell Gallery is located at “Contentment”, Gibbes, St. Peter. To get there, take Highway 1 north to Gibbes in St. Peter, turn right at the sign post which reads, “Highway 2A, Gibbes Glade, Rock Dundo”. The gallery is the third property on the right. Alternatively, you can travel north on Highway 2A/ABC Highway, make a left turn before Bakers Woods (sign posted Rock Dundo, Gibbes Glade, Highway 1) and follow the winding road towards the coast until you see the Shell Gallery sign on your left. The gallery is open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturdays 9am–2pm.
