I was shelling on the north end of Ft Myers Saturday and Sunday (7/18 & 19) and got really lucky. Went to San Carlos/Bunche beach early this morning--7/20 (it was absolutely gorgeous out) and found a ton of live crowns and three empty ones. Saw a massive horse conch, but had a crab inside--it was beautiful. I also found lots of mini cones, so I was happy. Was back at north end of Ft Myers beach later today, and didn't find anything. At least the weather's been nice in the morning/early afternoon.
@SWFBeachLife4 жыл бұрын
It's been extremely hit or miss for me too! I haven't been over to Bunche in a while - we normally only find live critters there - not so much in the shell department. We went for a walk not long ago just south of the FMB pier and we found a whole bunch of good stuff. I couldn't believe it! Yes, the mornings have been delightful and afternoons not terrible. The storms are around but at least it doesn't rain all day right?

@SWFBeachLife4 жыл бұрын
When I stopped at the Shell Museum, I BRIEFLY reviewed a little display regarding shelling and the time of year. I believe it said that the summer months aren't as plentiful as the winter months and I have found this to be the case! I will go back to the museum at some point to really study the display, but lately (summer) I have had a really hard time finding shells easily. I'll find them, but it really does feel like it's more scarce that it was in the winter months. However, winter months down here are very crowded. I have yet to be down here an entire year yet, but from my experience so far, I have found the best shelling to be in the fall/winter months.

@SWFBeachLife2 жыл бұрын
You can find shells either on the beach or in the water and you do have to check to make sure they're empty! Sometimes the creature is still alive or a hermit crab has taken up residence. If the shell is empty it's okay to keep but if there is a creature in the shell it has to stay at the beach.

It's been VERY slow in the shelling department but if you get in the water and either scoop or feel around, you very well might find some goodies. There is public parking on a few side streets and sometimes the hotels (The Wyndham) will offer parking in their lot too.
