Sea Shell City

Sea Shell City

Sea Shell City is a decades-old souvenir shop in the northern portion of the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan, just outside of Cheboygan. This store sells a lot of sea shells and souvenirs that theme Mackinac and surrounding districts. The large number of distinctively painted billboards for this store on I-75 claim that it contains "rarest oddities of Davy Jones' oldies".

Sea Shell City also contains a replica of the world famous "Man Killing Clam". It is a cast of a clam that was accidentally dropped on a person. The clam, being extremely heavy, crushed his lungs and killed him. Ever since, the clam has been regarded as "man killing".

This store also has convenient access because it is near a junction for county designated highway C-66 on I-75.
