- Finding sea shells at low tide, especially in the summer is always really fun. I typically try to either get out there first thing, or find sea shells at low tide to help increase my chances of finding treasures.

I love how you find critters and shells and you leave them ware they are
I love shells but my favourite part of your videos is how respectful you are of the environment and the sea animals. I love that you try not to disturb live critters or as little as possible and only for educational purposes. And beach time and actually looking for shells vicariously is very enjoyable. Thanks Sharmon. Love from Gold Coast, Australia.
I'm quite lucky to live here and be able to take a short drive to catch a low tide and say hi to some critters. I've only lived here just short of 3 years and I'm making up for a lot of lost beach time! Thanks for enjoying the beach with me all the way from Australia!
I always enjoy the beautiful shell treasures you find. I, especially, love how thoughtfully and gently you return the living creatures to the ocean. Thank you for sharing this!
You are so very welcome! And I want to be kind to our little beach creatures so they can continue to provide us all with such pretty shells!
Hi. Love your show. Learn so much from it. I checked on Quora regarding removing slipper snails from other shells and a couple biologists on there answered that question already saying NO. You can rip the snail's body and actually separate it from the shell, which will cause it to die in a short time. Hope that helps.
Thank you it does! Now I know removing a slipper could harm it. I'm glad I didn't try it and I just left them peacefully at the beach ☺️
I love how excited you get when you find beach treasures! Thank you! ❤️🐚
I hope the excitement never wears off! I've only been here almost 3 years and I am in love with learning about the shells and the creatures that make them!
You are truly a kindred spirit. Thank you for sharing these experiences I otherwise would miss seeing. ❤️
You are so very welcome kindred spirit. Thank you so much for coming along with me! ❤️
Again a lot of great shells, but the Angel wings are gorgeous, wonderful, stunning..I love them ❤😃🙏👍🍀
They really are beautiful shells and I always collect all the ones I find. Did you see my one video where I found over 70 of them in one day?
I never thought I would say a sea urchin was beautiful, but you proved me wrong! It was really gorgeous! I love your videos!
Thank you!
Beautiful finds. So educational . I learned so much! Beautiful sunset!
Thank you for watching!
‘Let’s go to the beach!’ Some of my favorite words. I was amazed at how shallow the water was. It was fun seeing all the little critters you share. I so appreciate your respect for their lives! Wonderful day. Thank you! 🦀🦞🦐🦑🐙🐚
The beaches here are already pretty shallow and if you throw in a low tide and you can really get out there! Thank you so very much for watching! 🙏🏼
I love how the urchins are shelling also! I have never found a Crown Conch!
There all over the place anywhere from around Clearwater to St. Pete beach's
I know! Those urchins are pretty at shell collection too! 😅
@@onlyjesussaves840 I've been to Sanibel, Captive, Bonita, Naples, Ft. Myers, St Pete, Clearwater, Kice, PCB, Pass a Grill, Ft Desoto, Honeymoon, Caladesi, , Lovers Key, nope! They hide from me! 😔
Yep, Fort Myers Beach almost always has lots of Angel wings. Just love being there with you. What a gorgeous evening!
And a few crown conchs showed up too which is always nice! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you ! I've not walked that area yet..only drove past it. Beautiful low tide shelling !!
I look forward to Sunday evening and your newest video, I'm waiting for the, "well hello beach friends", because I know that I'm off to a Florida beach for shelling, critter watching and beautiful scenery! Thank you for all the identification and other information on shells and critters.
You are so very welcome! I thoroughly enjoy sharing my beach adventures and I appreciate you taking the time to come along!
You are so brave, picking up the creatures! Sand dollars are my favorite. That urchin area was interesting!
I love the critters almost as much as I love the shells--those crabs really crack me up, LOL. Love the shot of the Moon--"Moon Over Lover's Key" sounds like a great romantic movie to me. Lovely shells, lovely trip to the beach--thank you for taking us along!
LOL - that does sound like a lovely movie title! And I'm with you with the critters - I enjoy seeing them as much as I do finding the lovely shells they leave behind! Thank you so much for choose to spend some time at the beach with me!
Beautiful finds, those little hermit crabs are so adorable!!!
I'm interested in what do you do with your little treasures when you get them home? Would love to see your collection someday! Thanks for taking us along on your trips!
Mostly I keep my shells in glass jars, vases and lanterns. I showed my collection in a past video: th-cam.com/video/Afy0jl0smpE/w-d-xo.html Then, I put some shells to the side to sell and others to do projects with. I've managed to complete 2 projects thus far. A shell mirror: th-cam.com/video/Mf5SVm8m5n8/w-d-xo.html And a shell photo frame: th-cam.com/video/h9UIvqlOzgM/w-d-xo.html I have lots of ideas I just need to find more time!
Again U have amazed us with your trip..u have learned so much about the critters and I really enjoyed it…Thanks again Sharmon Look forward to seeing you again
Thank you Janet! This was a fun, later low-tide walk. I dislike the cold, but I am looking forward to those winter early morning low tides!
Thanks for another lovely trip to the beach Sharmon.
Thanks so much for coming along with me!
What an amazing beach trip video! So many urchins! Wow! Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful 4th too! 🇺🇸
Lovely finds. If I found a great shell with just a slipper shell attached I would slide him off! He'd find another shell to attach to. Great whole cockle. So many interesting shells with animals inside. It's amazing how much animal is tucked inside. Gems from the sea. You're fortunate to live near the ocean!
I am so lucky to live where I do! I've learned so much about the snails and critters that live on our beaches down here.
Another great day! Thanks for taking me along.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Such a peaceful n beautiful walk❤
I really enjoy your videos
I always look forward to them.i like how gently you place them back in the water.its interesting to see the live critters.thank you.
I absolutely love seeing all the critters you find! Here in the Venice area I don’t see that many so it’s fun watching them on your videos. Those Crown conchs!! Beautiful. Thank you for another great video!
I think I enjoy seeing the critters as much as I do finding the shells. It's always a real treat when I get to do both! Thank you so very much for watching!
Every week I eagerly await your newest video of your beach adventures! It makes me smile and unwind from the stresses of daily life! What wonderful creature discoveries on today's video!
I especially enjoyed the teenie tiny hermit crabs hiding in the very small shells! Thanks so much for sharing
your passion with all of us!
You are so very welcome! I love learning about the fascinating creatures I'm finding and sharing everything I'm learning along the way. I appreciate you choosing to spend your time at the beach with me! 🙏🏼
Thank you for the few minutes of beach time. I live in Missouri and love the ocean and the sounds
Fantastic video. Sea cucumbers! What the what? That is some crazy stuff. And that piece of gigantic lightning whelk is amazing. Would love to see one of that size alive.
We had found a live one that was absolutely massive but it was quite a while ago. It's always thrilling to find those big monsters when they're alive!
Love those shell finds, especially on low tide. Birds are so very important for our environment. Thanks SWF.
Thank you so much I love love
Love watching your videos and learning about all the critters and shells.. my husband and I made
Our first trip to sanibel today, it was so fun and we found quit a lot of “treasures” and I loved knowing what each different treasure was properly called .. the most exciting was a perfect beautiful angel wing my husband found . I was so excited 😆 have a great weekend
I'm so glad you had fun on your trip to Sanibel!
Oh it's so nice to go on a peaceful beach walk on Sundays. Thank you for the time you spend making these videos for us. I do appreciate you and your videos so much. 💜🐢🐚🐌🦀🎉
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
As always, really enjoyed the video, thank you.
Amazing shells to be found in SWF, WOULD LOVE TO VISIT ONE Dy. love from australia
Disco pants…..let’s go
Thanks so much for coming along with me to the beach!
Love this live critter addition! Amazing to see what’s out there. Thank you for my weekly dose. Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸
Happy 4th to you too! 🇺🇸
Was at the beach over the weekend and came upon a living Olive trying to get buried in the sand. I caught myself helping him and saying, "there you go friend". 😄
Awwwww - I love this!! I hope you had fun at the beach!
Cute critter overload, really like seeing the critters moving around with speeding up the video.
Just gorgeous skies, just love those clouds! Beautiful shells!!!
Such a beautiful day,beautiful shells,fantastic. Love it
Thank you so much for showing the live shells and all the other critters!
Thank you so much for watching!
Goodness me that was a VERY low tide! Loved the little live critters. Stay safe x
The tide can get REALLY low - it was a lot of fun saying hi to so many creatures! ❤️
Amazing how you find so many live critters! Love the lessons!
Thanks for watching!
Another beautiful day at the beach. I love the crown conchs and the fighting conchs. That sunset was really pretty and seeing the moon over Lovers’ Key was special. Thanks for sharing your beach fun with us.
Thanks so much for choosing to spend some of your time at the beach with me!
What a beautiful evening on the beach!!! Thank you!!💕💕🧜♀️
What a thrill it is to be a pocket beachttraveller with you! Super presentation and worth listening to you. Well done and cheers! from South-Africa.🙏❤️
Thank you so much! I've lived here almost 3 years and I can't believe how much I've learned. The beach is an excellent classroom! Thank you so very much for watching all the way from South Africa! ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much for the walk. See you next week.
What a beautiful teacher you are! Keep going i admire you greetings from italy 🦄🌟🌈👍👍👍🌈🌟🌟🌎🌍🌍
Thank you so much for watching all the way from Italy! ❤️
Another wonderful video..Thank you so much for posting. Brings back wonderful memories for me
Oh man..that pear whelk and crown conch and the pair of lemon cockles and the giant pairs too!! All the fabulous live creatures including the big whelks and the treat urchin farm! Loved it all! Happy 4th!!!!
Thanks so much for watching Kathy! Happy 4th to you as well!
I liked the critters 🐌 ~ Evelyn
I like the googley eyes of those fighting conchs and the little hermit crabs! ❤️
You are so considerate of the beach, and I so love it! I would be just like you while looking for goodies! Thank you for picking up the trash also! I think by far this is my favorite video of yours! So many critters this time. Happy 4th of July to you and yours!
Happy 4th to you and your too! 🇺🇸 Thank you so much for spending some time at the beach with me!
Loved the beach today!
Bless you for letting the sea animals keep their shells!🐌
I always look out for my squishy sea friends!
Great video! Just enjoyed it so much! Felt like I was there with you!
Thank you for choosing to spend some of your time with me at the beach!
Anxiously awaiting your next installment
Respect the cockle!!! Thank you for the fabulous videos every week; they’re sincerely appreciated!
LOL! Respect the cockle indeed! 😅
Great shelling experience! Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!
It lived it’s life to its fullest!
Great walk today. It’s so relaxing. I am a bird lover so I really liked watching the skimmers! Thanks for taking the time to introduce all the critters! Maybe a gopher tortoise one day too? Many thanks from Michigan.
I haven't seen one of those tortoises lately but if they make an appearance I'll be sure to share!
Awesome shells! Can’t wait to see the beach update from blind pass.
Love your videos and your humor. Thanks for another great video. The urchin community was super cool.
Thank you!!
I was there then! We found so many beautiful shells and saw lots of sealife. We saw several small rays who were swimming together. They were so cute! Local people said it was a negative low tide.
Negative low tide is the best! It's tricky to catch them right now with the summer evening storms but if you can it really helps see those hiding shells and say hi to some critters. I hope you had fun!
Fantastic finds today, thanks for showing the live critters. 🌻🐕🇺🇸
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for the lovely walk on the beach! You never disappoint! I look forward to next week!
Thank you so much!
Hi Sharmon,
What a beautiful evening! I can totally understand that you had to drag yourself off the beach.
It really was an amazing evening to enjoy all the goodies the sea has to offer.
Those hermit crabs are so funny! I'm always amazed to see them in all kind of shells, defending their little home until it's time to move to a bigger one.
Although it wasn't a great haul, the shells you've found were gorgeous! And seeing all the critters is so much fun.
Thank you so much for taking us with you on your beach walks. As always, I've loved every minute of it.
I hope you have a wonderful week, filled with joy and happiness.
Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤️, Ilona
Negative low tides are the best! It's tricky to catch them with our summer rains coming in but when you do it's so fun! Thank you so very much for watching!
So beautiful, I just love the beach.
Thanks so much for watching Artie!
I also collect shells from the Caribbean and Florida
I love the sand dollars!
Me too!
I live in Minnesota so my appreciation is from afar.
That crown conk was awesome great finds
I was psyched with that pretty spikey shell. The angel wing was kind of nice too ☺️ Thanks so much for watching!
Love all those crown conchs... I've never found a good one - yet! That urchin "convention" was really something.
I've seen sand dollars congregate like that but never urchins. The beach never disappoints!
Such a lovely walk today. Enjoyed myself immensely. Love the critters you find. And the shells of course! Hugs from Virginia!
Thanks so much for spending some time with me at the beach all the way from Virginia! ❤️
Thanks for getting those out of the water. I only get in the water on uncrowded beaches. I’m scared of jelly fishes and people pee peeing in the water on crowded beaches. I love finding sea shells that you can take home. I never take shells with live critters either.
We're quite lucky as there are PLENTY of beaches down here so they don't really get all that crowded. Summers are slower and I enjoy almost having the beach to myself! ☺️
Lordy all the shells you find are my bucket list shells that I hope to own someday🐚
I hope you do too!
Love the biology lesson. I'm used to seeing our freshwater benthic critters. Anemones are fantastic! The sea cucumber was way neater than the illo in my textbook!
There are so many weird and wonderful creatures to be discovered on our beaches! I knew the arms of sea stars could be regenerated, but who knew the guts of a sea cucumber could be regrown?? Thank you so much for spending some time at the beach with me!
I loved all of the critters in this one. Those little eyes are so cute
Aren't those googley eyes adorable? Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for another awesome beach walk and a beautiful sunset
You are so very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Hello my beach loving friend!! Sending mountain mermaid hugs and startfish kisses from the hills of southeast Kentucky. Thank you for taking us to the beach again with you today. I so needed this today 🧜🏼♀️
I enjoy seeing all the critters as much as I do finding the keeper shells and low tide is always a great opportunity for both! Thank you for coming along with me mermaid! ❤️
Great collection of seashells
Thank you!
Happy 4th of July for you Sharmon and all your fellow American watchers ….luv from Perth, West Australia
Thank you down under beach friend! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I love the shells you uncovered and I hope you make more videos just like this one 😄
Thank you! I make a brand new video every week so each week at 7pm EST a new video will drop! ☺️
Nice to find all those sand dollars out there on the sand bar. Lot of live shells and shells with hermit crabs in them. Good Angel wing shell finds. A pretty good haul for the day. Happy 4th of July to you.
Happy 4th to you too Sally! I had a great time saying hi to all the critters and it was just such a lovely trip to the beach!
So wonderful love the videos with critters and learning about them thanks so much was awesome🐚🐌🐟🐡🐠
Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏼
This was such a fun video! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
That's why I love low tides. You can see all of the seashells and critters. I find Baby's ear moonsnail shells here in Philippines but they are so small at first I thought they were abalones lol. Btw amazing finds I always wait for your latest videos, looking forward to the next one
Oh I couldn't imagine finding an abalone! I've seen the live baby ears but they're usually just about full grown. To find a little one would be so fun! I'll be on the lookout!
Wow, Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea
Thank you so much for watching all the way from Korea!!!
Beautiful walk! Loved all the critters❤️
Thank you very much!
Oh, I do love going to the beach with you every week, and this week was really great! I love to wade around in the shallows and out on sandbars too, so it was fun to see all the wonders that the gulf has to offer up. The urchins were technicolor on my screen, so I think they were my favorites this week. I did find the first Pear Whelk you picked up to be particularly beautiful and I’m always a sucker for an Auger. But the whole haul was gorgeous! Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July to you too! I love when I can catch a nice low tide. I am always surprised by what's going to be out there to discover. I'm bummed these evening storms are now starting to pop up regularly. I'm not sure when I'll be able to catch another low evening tide! Hope you have a super week!
I am in Oregon and was at our beach yesterday! I found a few shells but nothing like Florida!
Yeah...our beaches are pretty hard to beat. But I've heard the Oregon coast is beautiful!
a nice variety of treasures today - I love learning about shelling from you! {{shelling hugs}}
Hugs from FL right back at cha! 🌴🌊🐚
Hello, Beach Friend! I enjoy seeing the creatures! The urchins holding shells are cool. I love the angel wings and have a new appreciation for the cockles and docenias. It's amazing how far you can wade at low tide.
I always enjoy your walks, feel relaxed and a bit smarter, too!
Thank you Sharmon!
Happy Independence Day!
Thanks for coming along with me Carol. There are so many fascinating things to learn about the beach and its inhabitants and I appreciate you choosing to spend some time with me at the beach! ❤️
Another lovely beachy day!!!
Learn something new every day, I never thought there were places where you could wade that far away from the beach shore. Very nice video, lots of critters there
Our beaches are pretty shallow to start with but when you throw a nice low tide in there you can REALLY get out there!
Wonderful trip to the beach! I love the critters!
Me too!
just love your vidios love learning
Greetings to all Beach Friends! Have a safe and happy 4th!
Happy 4th to you too!
I am with you....I love the little being inside the fighting conchs they look like cute little aliens
I love their little googley eyes!
I have removed slippers and they seem fine. I just set them on another shell or rock. Just move slow and they will release.
Thank you for leaving this comment! Most others are saying that they can be harmed if they are removed but I suspect if they are removed gently they'd be alright. I'm probably just going to leave them since it's not quite as cut and dry as I was hoping the answer would be!
Miss getting my shipment of shells!!
Really cool info on the skimmers. I've only seen them as they skim here, never in groups at the water's edge like that. They have roped off areas for nesting on Honeymoon, but I don't think it's for skimmers. Yes, fantastic crown conch! Craziest thing. I went to Ft DeSoto Park with my cousin that was visiting and when we went out a ways there were literally hundreds of live sand dollars, mostly small. It was like a hatchery and very cool. Sort of like the urchins! Very pretty pear whelks! I think the slippers can live if removed, but I don't ever do it. Wow! That is the most active urchin I've seen!! Love the fast-forward videos! Very interesting info on the sea cucumber. Really nice big angel wing! Man there was hardly anyone on the beach there. Surprising... You did really well for June. Thanks, Sharmon! xxoo
Agreed - very good for June but I suspect the low tide helped. If I were on the beach I don't think I would have found much of anything! I've always wondered about the slippers and someone else said they could be harmed by popping them off so I think I'll continue with my, "leave them be" policy. Those sea cucumbers are crazy fascinating! xoxoxo
@@SWFBeachLife Have a great 4th!! xxoo
It's crazy how far out that sanbar was. I would for sure fear getting stuck out there (lol) but it does seem like a good spot for those giants. Nice sunray venus clams too, I'm such a sucker for those. Well done!
Have a great week beach friend
You too!
