The Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau (VCB) is sponsoring an event to break the Guiness World Records title for the Largest human image of a seashell on June 21 at Fort Myers Beach.
National Seashell Day, which also happens to be the first day of summer, takes the celebration to the sand at The Outrigger Beach Resort on Fort Myers Beach. The VCB is inviting the community to join The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel in this record-setting adventure.
The current title for the Largest human image of a seashell is currently held by Shell and Turcas Petrol A.Ş. and was achieved in October 2017 with 855 participants. This was the result of a team-building event with owners of Shell gas stations all over Turkey.
As the seashell capital of the world, the VCB believes this record should be held by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel.
The VCB’s goal is to take the Guiness World Records title by organizing more than 1,000 people to participate on the beach to fill in the form of a seashell. A Guiness World Records adjudicator will be on-site to verify the attempt.

They need your help and the help of your friends too.
