A funny, kitschy stop. It's right off the highway so, if nothing else, it's a chance to stretch your legs and see the MAN KILLING CLAM! And they sell magnets of said clam for $2, which is a bonus.

Sea Shell City has a new sign. It's still a great place. Coming back from up north, they even have a scenic overlook of Sea Shell City.

Colorful, but we hope that Sea Shell City never takes down its old "Man Killer Clam" billboard -- it's a classic.

This place has been virtually the same my entire life. Besides the main attraction killer clam, there is also a creepy sailor, giant parrot, and a pirate ship playset out front.

Sign.

Sea Shell City

I was taken to this delightful attraction by my parents when I was a very little boy on trips to Macinaw City in the late 1940s or early 1950s (am now 63), so this spot is ancient. The "man-eating clam" sign out has been out front for over 50 years. Inside there are rows and aisles of seashell trinkets and the "man-eating clam" with a pair of human legs sticking out of the rim.

It's so fake it's still a riot of fun after 50 years. I just took my 16 year old daughter there in 2007 and she laughed so hard it was crazy. Go see this place but don't expect high entertainment.
