Sea Shell City is a fun place to stop, especially with kids. It is a must-stop location with a huge, neat, and clean gift shop. The shop is very well organized and has everything, including sea shells, Michigan merch, and many affordable trinkets. It is an interesting concept for Michigan. Visitors enjoy hours of looking at the many treasures. A popular activity is picking your own pearl. The friendly staff often gives small gifts like pirate hats to children with purchases. Many families make it a regular stop on their travels, and it has been a staple for generations. It also provides open public bathrooms for travelers.
