One of my most favorite things ever is a Florida seashell tour, where you can explore islands that you wouldn't normally have access to. Florida has the best shells, and when you hit the right island to find them its pure shell heaven!

If people tell you you pick up too many shells they need to find another KZfaq channel. I think you are wonderful!! It is just what you do and we love to watch, living vicariously through you.

If anyone has ever shelled in those areas knows there is an abundance of shells ! It floors me to think someone would have the audacity to make such a ridiculous statement! It was another lovely day shelling so ignore those statements and I’d ban them from the channel just saying !

Can you imagine what the beaches would look like if no one took any shells? There’d be mounds and mounds and mounds of shells. Great beach walk. The albino lace murex and the baby alphabet cones, and the pitted murex were my favorites this week. Honorable mention goes to the Rose murex today. These videos are always a great way to end my Sunday evenings. I hope we’re with you when someday you find that elusive Junonia .

I guess I’m like everyone else, shocked that you had comments complaining you took too many shells. They must not have their glasses on because the beach is packed with shells!! You could take a big bucket every week and never ever empty the beach. Anyhoo, wow what a day!! That was so cool on so many levels!! It’s so amazing when you see the Florida Fighting Conchs in all sorts of shapes and colours(Browns, yellow, ivory and purple.). They all have the same shape and spikes but some are fat, some thinner, short and long. Then when you found the albino murex, THAT was sooooo cool!! A live cone was interesting. What I find interesting is that how the shell has such a sliver opening for the resident to come out of. Great Beach walk and video!! Next week Fort Myers, Yay!!! Have a great week and we’ll see you Sunday. 🥰🐬

Hello My Beach Angel! I've been lurking around browsing channels and doing little chores, just waiting for you to post! Heard the notification bell, tossed some clothes into the washing machine and here I am! Yes, lots of Gaudy Nautica, not counting ... well, you know. No need in repeating myself. That Fighting Conch might have been trying to keep the sand out of his shell. It gets EVERYWHERE, as we Florida folk well know! I keep reminding myself that you are walking the beaches of my youth! Gosh, that IS a gorgeous Fighting Conch! Beautiful Nautica! Nice Lightning Whelk! I used to have a right-handed Lightning Whelk that I found at Dunedin. It went to my niece, too. Oh, I don't think I've seen a Pitted Murex. Just looked it up, though, and my eyes are a bit green, Angel! So many lovely little bitties at Kice. I'll bet folks walk the beach at Kice and go home telling people they didn't see any seashells! Ahhhh, Beach Time is one of the best times of the week. I could hear the sound of the shells tumbling in the surf. I just love those Fighting Conchs! You should have a race with a couple of them! That jingle looks more like a pelican's foot! Pretty little Nutmeg!Now that Spiny Jewelbox could send you back to the boat limping! Really nice Pear Whelk! Oh, I love the yellow Prickly Cockles! I used to have a joined pair when I was young. When you close it, the shape of a heart was revealed. I've heard the called "Heart Cockles." You found a Rose Murex on Kice before Ian dropped by, as I recall. Really nice Alphabet Cone! Wow, that's a cool Pear Whelk! Wow! That's a magnificent Lace Murex! A great addition to your collection! What a find, a live Alphabet Cone! I've never seen a live one. For every shell you take, you leave them thousand! Don't pay attention to the grumps! Nice big Apple Murex! Pretty color on that Nutmeg. Ooh, scallops! I love those beautiful little Bay Scallops! Then again, I love those big white ones, too. More than all the shells and the beaches, I love spending beach time with you, Beach Angel! Oh, that Mauve Mouthed Drill and the Ribbed Cantharis are so lovely! The Creator must have really enjoyed making seashells! Thank you for taking me along with you, dear Angel! It made me very happy and relaxed so perhaps I can sleep. I know I'll walk the beach at Kice in my dreams. Love from The Lost Mermaid I have a question...is the shelling good on the other side of the island or is that the sound side? Just been wondering about that.
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Жыл бұрын
This is what I have learned about these little islands that dot our coast. The "gulf" facing side of the island is going to give you the best seashells. The opposite side of the island is typically a bay of some sort, and you can find some critters and shells, just not all the varieties that you'll find on a gulf facing beach. I hope that. makes sense. It actually reminds me of an episode I have coming up where we will be able to explore that opposite side of the island. I'll show you how different it is!

I have a place in corolla and just a few varieties to find here. I do like to pick up the oyster shells types in various coloring. Just picked up a large blow fish which I have never seen here before. Of course it was drying out already. I do like the dark blue scallop shells too. I have been to Sanibel and Captiva a few times and loved the shelling. I wonder when there will be fewer shells washing up in the gulf areas. When I watch her videos I feel like I am there with her. I am just amazed at what she can find in one day. I also purchased shells for my pleasure and decor since I have a VA home and a NC beach cottage.

Fantastic! just absolutely fantastic. Thank you. So many beautiful shells. Makes me want to hop a plane from my home in Scotland and get over to Florida right now! One day soon I hope. Can't wait for your next video.😊

I hope you can too! Your shores are beautiful (I really like the Apple TV screen saver of Scotland) but the shells we have 🐚🐚🐚

Hi Sharmon! Looks like an amazing time on Kice Island. Such incredible finds. I loved it all. How cool you found a living cone. And it was so neat to see the Osprey. We have quite a lot of those along the the Columbia River here in the Pacific Northwest. We do see the occasional bald eagle too. When I was a park ranger in the Columbia Gorge, I could count on seeing this big Osprey nest built on a pier post along the river but near the freeway every time I went to work. Glad you have them in Florida too.

I love hearing their piercing calls. Before there was construction on the Sanibel causeway there was a good chance you could spy one on the railing of the road looking for a meal. ❤️

Wow. A pitted murex. I would have guessed it to be a weathered lace. Now I'm wondering if I've seen one and didn't know it 😮. Great find! I believe that's the prettiest rose murex you've found!👍 Beautiful albino LM! You're right about the "different white" for albinos. Sharmon, people that think we take too many shells just don't know the beaches here. It's impossible!!! You're right about the great scallops. Gorgeous! As usual, Kice was well worth the trip. Thanks, Sharmon!💕

I was tickled with that little pitted murex! There are SO many other shells out there - I need to stop picking up the same exact ones!

Marvelous day on Kice Island...gobsmacked at the amount of seashells on the beach right now...would need to drag along a large trash bin for all the Florida Fighting Conchs, hard to leave those behind !!! LOL, just kidding, but they are so lovely. Wonderful diversity. Thank you so much for our beach-time today !!!

That is only the second pitted murex I have ever seen and unfortunately neither in person, love the albino lace Murex and the Rose of course. The live alphabet cone was a real treat too. Since I am allergic to bees I have to be especially carsful around cone shells. Thanks Sharmon, have an awesome week.

You would definitely not want to encounter a live cone! I got stung by an urchin once (in Jamaica) and that was more pain than I'd like to ever experience again!

Sharmon, such beautiful shells and amazing creatures! I've been studying the Florida's Living Beaches book. I try to guess the shell before you say it. ☺️💖🐚

Omg I can’t believe people would comment about how many shells you take! There are plenty!! I love watching your videos. Is there a ride over to live that will leave you longer then two hours? That wouldn’t be enough for me lol, excited to go someday!! Would definitely be like a kid in a candy store .. giddy just watching you

Most of the tours are around 4-5 hours long but you can take a shuttle over to Keewaydin and stay just about all day if you like! www.hemingwaywatershuttle.com
