Post hurricane shelling usually provides tons of shells and great shelling. I went shelling after Hurricane Sally and I wanted to see what Hurricane Zeta would provide. Hurricane Zeta didn't come all that close to Southwest Florida, but it churned up the gulf nonetheless and the shelling was pretty good!
Last time we went shelling over at Fort Myers after a storm blew through and this time I wanted to see what Sanibel would provide. The gulf waters were too rough to look for shells in, however tons of shells were pushed up on the beach and there were tons of goodies to pick through.
This walk has changed so much due to all the storms that have come through. The part of the woods I used to walk through has become a real mess and is now almost impassable. I'm wondering if future storms will fix the mess or make it worse. I guess time will tell.

I was at Bowmans Beach and spoke with a lady that had been in Ft Myers the previous weeks and on Sanibel during the hurricane. Im wondering if it was you that I spoke with. This particular lady was fond of the orange scallops. I found an Sugar as she was walking away any gave it to her. It is a small world, it could have been you. She did mention that she was flying home.

Shelling during the winter is awesome! It's the best "season" for shells. I've never stayed on Sanibel but if you're going for shelling I bet staying on the water over there would be pretty stellar. I'm a big fan of Fort Myers Beach because the south end has shells and the north end has Times Square - a "center" of town with restaurants, bars, shops and live entertainment on the weekends. I personally would want to stay close to there since there is a lot to do at night and there is a trolley that runs up and down the island so you wouldn't necessarily have to walk. I would try VRBO based on what you're looking to do while you're down here!

@@bconsilio3764 You know that’s a good question. I’d like to give you a recommendation but I’d want to know for sure the shells were found empty and not harvested like they are in some parts of the world. I have some on my website for sale that really are meant for projects since some aren’t perfect. If that doesn’t work for you I would suggest looking online for ethically sourced shells. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

I have a new system...I sort them into keepers just the way they are, shells that need to be dipped in acid and shells I'm going to bring back to the beach. The last time I had to organize my shells it took all day! The shells I keep I collect in jars - I do review some of it in a previous video I made: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mp2DoKeGyNzImok.html

So what is the secret? My wife and I went to Sanibel and did NOT find anything special, no unusual shells, any special time you have to go?
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 3 жыл бұрын
Well that's a bummer, but it happens to the best of us. I usually just go first thing in the morning. Lately I've started paying more attention to the tides, so it's possible you just visited at a "bad" time. Also, I tend to walk anywhere between 5-6 miles, so I always increase my chances by covering a lot of beach. I hope you have better luck next time!

@BeachBumminDad 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Brian, having been to Sanibel many times I can agree with you that the shelling can be hit-or-miss, however, if you try in the water, check the tide charts, go during a full moon, and shell after a storm, you'll definitely increase your odds. 🌴😎
