ATLANTA–Beach movie camp of the 1960s served as inspiration for Shells Seafood Restaurants’ new advertising campaign, created by Voodoo Inc. of Tampa, Fla.

Both spots feature beachgoers dancing and cooking seafood by the surf. A narrator with an Annette Funicello-like hairstyle watches over the scene from the corner of the screen.
