quick fact, usually shells everywhere on the beach at the surf are a sign of strong rip currents, generally youll see more shells on outgoing rip currents. it drafts the shells into a column. shes right dont swim there at all. the point and around it has terrible rip currents you simply cannot over come. most fishermen fish off the beach not in the surf. be careful out there. great fishing but dangerous waters!

I went in August. I easily swam to the island during low tide

Why was this news? Shoals and inlets pop up and disappear all the time.

There's really nothing new about this "island". This site was formerly the southern point of Hatteras Island, which slowly eroded away. Recent storms and shifts in current pushed enough sand back over that shoal that it was high ground, for a little while.

Please research the history of the outer banks to learn why there are thousands of ship wrecks there, it is not due to currents as stated.

News correspondents and anchors act as if they have never experienced the basic activities of life. It's interesting to watch a segment where they try to explain something as basic as changing a tire, and it is like the rest of the world knows nothing about it.

It's very beautiful, but yet scary. Most Nature can give, but can also take away. I hope no one is planning to build any hotel or resort till the land is owned and is guaranteed stable

A little girl named wasn't a boy named Caleb she is girl named Shelly

Pffft. In August I effortlessly swam to the island.

Well, rip Shelly island

we need to build some more bridges in case the ferrys get shut down so people can get out .if a hurracane is coming we need more ways to leave

Good video

ginger thank you great

And less then a year later the Island has not grown, but has disappeared.

Could anyone tell what the news anchor in-studio was saying at 2:18/19?

Mermaids put 🐚🌊 shell's on the island 🏝️ before it appeared out of the water 💦

🙄Do people just not touch the Earth anymore? It always in constant motion, always has been always will be. Just like life itself, lol

"it can take a tropical storm or a hurricane and it will be gone" at 4:08 duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dorian......

I'm not sure this is there anymore.

It was never sub marine it was always nautical. Also not a island just a sand bank.

Manta rays are not dangerous, just big.

We swam with sand sharks at Huntington, they didnt bother.

I walked last month and I was fine

She is SO GOOD, she really is.... 😵 Really?

Haha Love to bet it’ll be gone after the hurricane Haha

Your mask will protect you from the virus like your shorts will protect you from your farts

why on earth would someone live on a random barrier island that literally formed overnight?... @4:04 I'm glad someone was smart enough to mention that! If a category 5 hurricane strikes that place will be gone! :S

Big freakin deal....Dubai made a giant Island look like a Palm tree and the World.....and it won't go away like Shelly Island just did last week.

Strange

Some Island is formed and some is submerged under water

I can see England fighting over a island like this 😂

Nice feet

kids are ruling the world, that why it a mess up!
