Location

Shell City is an underwater city that is first mentioned in "The Hankering," but appears physically in the episode "Karen for Spot."

Description[]

Goofy Scoopers 115 — The bridge to Shell City

Shell City appears to be a bigger city and offer the opportunities for becoming a movie star. It seems that various events take place here, such as the Shell City Comic Convention and the Annual Doomsday Device Expo.

Travel between Bikini Bottom and Shell City is possible via a bridge, as its revealed in the episodes "Goofy Scoopers" and "Smartificial Intelligence." However, it was destroyed in both episodes — in the former because Rock T. Puss was no longer working there to support its structure, and in the latter because Newsbot 2000 exploded it.
