    As a person from Kauai, I really appreciate you not disclosing the beaches and locations of where you find the shells. Too many people share the locations of very special places and it ruins it for everyone. So thank you for not being one of those people.

    Hi, I just subscribed. What a beautiful place and the shells are all stunning. 😍 I do like big old worn shells too. They have character. I'm sitting in cold Germany wishing I could swim where you are and go shell hunting. 😅 We don't have any shells on our beaches on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is about an hours drive from where we live. The beach is small and stoney here too. It is lovely to see your beautiful beaches and the whole scenery. Thank you for sharing and giving us info about what shells eat, etc. There is just one thing I think would be great. If you could lay out all the shells at the end so that we can see the whole collection after each day. Its nuce to see them all together and quickly run through the names again. It is truly shell gem heaven over there. The snorkeling and turtle at the end was amazing. Waving from Germany. Ciao 👋👋👍💖🐚🐠
