The Shell Shop, Inc. Founded and operated by the Thomas family, The Shell Shop has a rich history rooted in sustainability and environmental consciousness. Originally selling abalone shells, this family-owned business quickly expanded, importing shells from over twenty different countries and becoming one of the largest selections of sea shells on the West Coast.

What sets The Shell Shop apart is its commitment to being a green business. The shells they sell are a byproduct of the fishing industry, allowing struggling fishermen in coastal communities to generate additional income. Moreover, the use of shells as a byproduct helps reduce unnecessary carbon footprint and contributes to feeding our global population.

The Shell Shop adheres to strict US and international import protocols and actively supports ocean conservation efforts by donating to various organizations. Whether you're a collector, decorator, or simply attracted to the beauty of the ocean, The Shell Shop offers an extensive range of marine sea shells, collector's specimens, decorative corals, shell handicrafts, shell jewelry, shell night lights, shell wind chimes, and much more. Located in Morro Bay, California, this iconic store has become a must-visit for visitors exploring the Central Coast.
