- Hunting for alphabet cones, among other seashells, is thrilling - especially when the alphabet cones are cooperating and showing up!

Everytime you say "Lets Go to the Beach" I say "I am ready" Hello from Snowy cold Michigan. Thanks for taking us along!😂
Me too lol
Me three!🤗
Same here from landlocked Ohio! Hello Sharmon!
I’m from Michigan! Born & raised in Dearborn… now in North Carolina!
@ dreams can come true YES, me too! From West Michigan, Grand Haven. We can go rock hunting, right! Though the warm weather is good for the soul.
I hated for today’s session to be over. I was enjoying the shells so very much today and the water was clear and the cones were beautiful. I just enjoyed it so much. It only seemed like five minutes at the most.
Thank you for including us on your trips to the beach! I have learned so much by watching you!
I love I when you get so excited about what you find! The alphabet cones were awesome! Thank you for another peaceful trip to the beach. ❤️🐚
I just love shelling with you! I think that you definitely hit the shell jackpot on this trip! Thank you so much for taking us along beach friend🐬🐚
Best part of Sunday evenings!
I love when you go to Keewaydin--I rewatch those older trips, too! Yes, couldn't believe what good shape those cones were in--most even had perfect apertures, and the colors! Stunning colors on the apple murex shells, too! Great horse conchs, colorful moonsnails, that very cool worm snail and you even picked up a mossy ark--it was like a dream you would have of a perfect shelling day! Thanks for filming so we all could go with you!
It was like a dream - so much fun. Thank you for coming along with me!
I cried noooo! when you left that gorgeous broken moon snail with the brown and white swirls. I would have loved to cut that into a pendant and wrapped it in some gorgeous hammered wire. I always find beauty in the broken shells, though. All the Alphabets were super cool. The Florida Cones are actually my favorite, though. They have such beautiful swirly colors. I keep a Florida Cone in the console of my car with a bunch of rocks that I have collected from special times and places. I call them my memories. The Florida Cone I found on my 50th birthday on Kice, and besides the fact that it makes me remember how happy I was that day, it really is just beautiful. You got so many gorgeous shells this video. 🥰
Awe I love this. ❤️
Me too. I think I would have had to keep the broken moon with the chocolate and white swirls. It was so unusual. I wouldn't normally keep something that broken but I was amazed. It truly reminded me of a chocolate/vanilla swirl ice cream cone.
Beach time is the best time. I turn up the volume, close my eyes and imagine I’m there. I am really loving those buttercup lucines, jingles and the scallops.
I was dying with all the finds.. all of them.. and I saw the K too! We are so blessed you take us along too.. spectacshellar day!
WOW! What a day! That large apple murex was spectacular. And I totally get why you pick up lots of conchs ... the variety in colors and patterns is really something to behold!
Holy Alphabet Cone!!! I love horse conchs!! I love them all!!! What a fun day!!! XOXO thank you for making my Sunday happy! See you next week!
I just went to Keewaydin on Saturday with Ali & Captain Carlos and found soo many cones, a beautiful red true tulip, two rose murex and a decent size horse conch! Fabulous shelling!!!!!
Two rose murex!! JACKPOT!!
Happy Sunday!!!
I vacationed on Great Exuma Island, Bahamas for 2 weeks and shelled almost every day! I found so many keyhole limpets, teeny tiny to very large.I have quite the collection of them and variety of colors too☺
That sounds amazing!!
I never get tired of watching you pick up all of those beautiful shells!!!!!!
I think this is my favorite video! Great finds.
Hey so sorry I haven’t came hear in a while but I thank you for taking us along🎉
It's pure magic watching you discover all of those precious shells!
Hi Sharmon,
What a beautiful day to go shelling!
You did great in the Alphabet Cone and Fighting Conch department!
What a gorgeous shells!😍 And being Dutch: of course I love the Banded tulips and Orange Shells. 🧡
But all the shells are stunning and I would be over the moon if I found just one of them.
I'm very curious about what you're going to do with all those FFC's.
I know for sure that project will be marvellous.
Thank you for taking me and all the other viewers with you on your beach trips. I love every minute of it!
Hope you're doing well. Wishing you a lovely week with lots of joy, happiness, good health and of course gorgeous shells!
Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤️, Ilona
Ilona, it was so fun to be out there. Shoot, it's always fun, but when you can pick up awesome shell after awesome shell it's pretty hard to wipe the smile from my face. My projects tend to take me about three times as long as I would like them to, but I am working on a little something that I hope to unveil by the end of next month. I have a little more experimenting to do first 😃
I hope you are feeling well and your health isn't giving you any trouble. Sending sunshine and warmth 🧡🧡🧡
I really enjoy your videos. I was born and reared in North Florida, now living in New England but with family in JAX and SW FL. I really miss the beach and shelling but get to enjoy by watching your videos. Thanks for bringing all of us along!
WOW! Absolutely fantastic finds! I don't think I've ever seen an orange jingle!
Hi Sharmon thank you for sharing I really needed this walk on the Beach so many beautiful shells.
Got us excited - going to Keewaydin in a few days!!! My first trip to Florida to do shelling - and am with my sister. We are making great memories. Have been to Dickman's and a couple of beaches up by Venice - great for tinies! Still on schedule are Sanibel, Keewaydin and Kice. Then it's back to the great frozen North in about 10 days. You can take away the heat - but you can't take away my memories or my shells!!!! {{shelling hugs}}
Good luck from Michigan!
That's the spirit! May the shells be ever in your favor!!
I can't believe all those shells!! So many cones!! great day at the beach!
That trip was unbelievable! I would have been so excited with all those alphabet cones. Thanks for bringing us your shelling adventures. Shells were so beautiful!
What an amazing day!!! I can't believe how many alphabet cones you found. Thru out the video I was yelling shut up!!! 🤣😂. Holy cow🤯. Always love coming along with you. Thank you for the beautiful video as always. 🥰
This like being in a candy store for you..shells everywhere! Great finds once again. Ty for sharing!🤠
Oh my goodness - I literally said that about a recent shell trip. It's incredible how happy these little seashells make me!
@@SWFBeachLife Aww...well..we gotta thank The Lord for creating these beautiful creatures of beauty, He cares even for the smallest, like the sparrow. He knew you would enjoy these beauties, it's His blessings to you, Enjoy 😊
Wow what a fantastic day at the beach! You really scored on the alphabets and horse shells ! Lots of boats out ! Good day congrats
I loved this shell hunt. You found soo many amazing shells. Thank you so much for sharing!!!😊😊😊
I just can't wait to get back there! I'm sitting in snowy Minnesota living vicariously through you! Love your videos!!! Thank you!
What a fantastic day!!
I enjoyed all the shells you picked up today. So beautiful. I enjoy the beach time. Hearing the water and waves. Thank you for sharing your videos. It really does help relax me and just enjoy it all. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you so much Toni - I hope you have a wonderful day too!
I so love watching your shelling adventures. I'm taking my daughter and 2 1/2 year old grandson to Keewaydin Island on March 13th. My grandson loves watching you a Plum Island Sea Cabin. He is getting good at naming the shells.
I hope you have an amazing time while you're there!
Wow! Awesome Cones!
Whenever we’re on Keywaydin we always find buckets of cones!! I love it there 🌴🌴
The shells did not disappoint on this trip!
An ace of a day! You found so many beautiful shells! So much fun watching you find magnificent shells 🐚 ❤🐚❤🐚
i don't know if I'm the only one but, I scream out the name before she does. Thank you for teaching us! I'm from Florida. Nice to learn the real names!
That pear whelk was begging you to take it home Sharmon! Come on now! 😂
Seriously, I've thoroughly enjoyed your beach hunt tonight. You have me wanting to go back down to SWFL and I just got back from Pass A Grille last week from an awesome shelling trip. ☺️
LOL! It's happened before and I've picked up the same exact shell! Holy smokes was this shelling day fun. I've seen what's been going on up at Pass A Grille - at least you probably have yourself a bunch of urchins!
I am so happy to watch your new video after work tonight and wow all these alphabet cones are amazing ! This island was truly spectacular with all the beautiful shells ! Thank you for another fantastic shelling adventure ❤️🐚🏝️🦀
Thank you for tagging along with me!
Gorgeous haul! So happy for you!
The arrangement of alphabet cones looks like a box of crayons with all those colors!
I looked forward to your video all day, and what a reward!! 😊 such spectacular finds today!!! Now I can go to sleep, dreaming of shells 🐚 ❤
My in laws live on the other side of Florida than where you are! I would love to find the shells that you find when we visit next!
We miss Naples so much. I would just sit on a shell pile and find so many awesome shells
Amazing day !! Thank you !!
Lovely day at the beach and wonderful shells. I so enjoy watching how respectful you are of the living creatures. Always a joy watching your day at the beach. 😊
Late to the beach party. I wait all week for your video but tonight we had freaky February tornadoes. All clear here and I enjoyed the fabulous video.
Oh crud - sorry about the storms. Stay safe!!
So many beautiful cone shells! 😍
Wow! Nice haul!
WOW WOW WOW! What an amazing day at the beach!
I've been following you for a little while, didn't know until now you were a Jersey Girl ! Enjoy the warmth and sunshine, still cold and yucky here in the Garden State. Love your clips, esp. during our NJ winter. 👍🏻😃🏖️🐚
Stay warm beach friend! I'm a little jealous of the snow days you may get, but at least I won't have to shovel!
Your videos are the best! Thank you for another great adventure! ❤
Thanks for watching!
That was pretty exciting! Nice shells!
Very nice! I see Lori had a name change! Congrats Lori! I keep bumping into her! Thank you Sharmon! What a nice haul!!!
As always a pleasure
Holy cow! What a haul! Congratulations 😁👍
I really enjoy the shelves that you’re showing a love the colors. I love everything.
Cones have to be my favorite. We don’t have them in SC. ☹️ we do have knob whelks. I so have to come visit!
Always too short! Great haul, though. That huge moon snail is beautiful. Thanks again for your bright and shiny outlook and for sharing these adventures! Can't wait for next Sunday!
Makes my heart happy and sad at the same time. Happy you get to go and take us with you, but heavy sad that I can’t be there too. What I wouldn’t give to do the Sanibel slump again, feel the warm water lap at my feet, wind in my hair, salty mist in my glasses and beautiful sunrises. If only wishing could make it so.. 😢
I hear you. I wish I could make that happen for you too!
How cool to have found your channel. Love that you know all the shells names. I started collecting as a young girl. My grandparents had a beach house out in Springs NY. The bay beach was filled with shells. I had a mirror with a shell frame & a lamp made from a ginger jar filled with shells.
Since I've started collecting I have since found out there are beaches all over the NE to find shells. I wish I had known!
That's one memorable shelling day! I'm yet to find my first alphabet cone! Thanks for taking us along! So much fun just to watch!
Wow!!! Beautiful treasures today!!! The waves were breaking a little stronger today with the tide coming in; fabulous sounds to go with the fabulous sites. Thank you for a lovely day!
So fun! I needed to hear the surf today.
Such a great trip. We went to Keewaydin last month. So much fun!
I love beach time!
What an amazing day shelling! Cones galore!
I was on Dickman and Kice islands last week with SWF Natical shelling and it was super. Found so many shells, even a baby’s ear!
A baby's ear? That's awesome! I'm so glad the shells cooperated!
Absolutely love watching your trips to the beach, one day I will make it to SWF and do a shell tour. We have had so much sand wash up on our beautiful North Sapphire Beach in New South Wales, Australia that shells are few and far between. We usually have tritons, cowries , abalone , turbans , trocus, baler shells , bonnets, limpets, and coral as we are at the southern end of the barrier reef chain, with the Solitary Islands etc but alas we will have to be patient until they return. Have a lovely weekend.🐠🪸🐬🦀🌴🐚🦑🐢
I was drooling reading, tritons, cowries, abalone...its the rarity that makes them so special!
The guy was in that little shell!
Gorgeous alphabet cones! Amazing how many you found. Some really awesome shell finds there. What a great day that was. Looking forward to next video.
Thank you for the beach trip!
Wow! You really had a super blessed day 🐚♥️🐚♥️
Thanks for taking us along again! I was really hoping to get to Florida this year, but unfortunately not. My husband will travel by himself to see the grandsons. I'm having issues with my lower back, again, and I will be getting injections again. I just can't sit, stand, or walk for very long. These so-called "golden years" are literally a pain in the butt! I'll just keep living vicariously through you. Hugs!
What a great weekend shelling trip! Love all those special cones! but we have to wait a whole week for the next surprise?? I won't have any fingernails left!! LOL 😁
I hate spoilers!!! 😃❤️
What an awesome shelling day!
I was telling my daughter about my find of sa d dollars and she lives on great barrier island in nz qnw she said they call them snapper biscuits because they feed on these. Linda at whakatane Nz.
Snapper biscuits - go figure!
I love your Let’s go to the Beach.
Such an amazing day! Love it!!!
Thank you 🥰
i was on keewaydin twice in mid-january a week apart. first time shells were meh! and i picked up a lot of garbage, but second time was cone-a-palooza...such a special day. still treasure that day over the 5 i spent in 10k islands! i so look forward to sunday afternoons with you. thank you so much for taking us along. ❤
There's no guarantee with the shells, but when they decide to show up, isn't it so much fun? I'm glad you got to have that amazing feeling of finding all those treasures too!
Beautiful haul!!
Great day at the beach!
Shell yeah!!! So many cones that I started craving ice cream! Thanks for another great video. :)
Fantastic shelling day! All those cones! Wow! Thanks for sharing a great day at the beach!
Hi Sharmon, sooo excited for this island today!! Holy moly it is a shell explosion! ( : I love spiny jewel boxes! ( : I love gastropods!! Soooo gorgeous!! Funny you said that about gastropods. I am in CT and Rhode Island or the Cape are my two shelling spots! Occasionally CT shoreline. But only find jingle (which I love) and slipper shells there. I swear! Non-gastropods! Boring! ) :
Wow, the second apple murex is beautiful! ( : Pretty gaudy Nautica! ( : Wow, all those shell casings! ( : Those were huge! ( :
Pretty calico scallop and lettered olive OMGGGG...that orange scallop is amazing! ( :
Love the alphabet cones too! ( : You were just pulling them in when you finally got back to the alphabet cone zone! Lol! ( : The fighting Conches didn't disappoint today either! ( : What an amazing shelling day today! ( : You were on fire! (
What a wonderful beach day! Thank you soooo much for taking us along to the beach! ( : Yayyyyyyy... can't wait for next Sunday; woo hoo!! ( :
I'm glad you enjoyed your time on the beach! Thanks so much for coming along with me!
Thank you for making my Sunday so much better!! Stay safe and happy shelling!
What a great trip with so many beautiful shells. Such colorful scallops and I love those horse conchs!
Such an amazing shelling day!
I always look so forward to Sunday’s love shelling with you it looks so sunny and warm gray and cold here in Illinois
Amazing! Thank you!❤
You had a great alphabet cone day
Good evening, Beach Angel! What a wonderful day at Keewaydin! Such beautiful shells today! Not as many as you found last time, but lovely ones, just the same! It can't always be a many-shells day, but that's what makes those days so special!
I like the cones and whelks and the egg cases are amazing! The horse conchs are gorgeous! Oh, you do the same thing, "please, oh, please, be empty!" I never know if I'm talking to the sea or the shell or myself! Nice lace murex, too! You know, I really think the scallops are my favorites, humble as they are.
I'm getting my gear in order, and have two separate shell bags, like you. I used to use bread bags for the littles and box-store bags, several inside each other, for the heavy shells. I used my pockets for fragile shells. Since "knowing" you, I'm actually getting mesh carry bags for mixed shells, a mesh backpack for the heavies and a small handled bag for fragiles.
Water shoes, shorts and a t-shirt under windproof pants and a windbreaker complete my fall shelling wardrobe. Just point me to the sea, 'cause I'm ready!
I'm growing a bit more excited with every lap of the waves on the shore. Soon I'll be quite insufferable, I'm sure. I'll be so shell-minded, I won't be much good for anything else.
I do hope to get down your way some time. My husband has brothers in Apopka, and the next time we go there, we are going to make a slightly out of the way side trip to your area. (My idea, not his).
Spring is hastening its arrival here, though I strongly suspect that there will be a real cold snap at Easter.
I think it's a visceral reaction, when you see a shell rolling in the surf, to bend down and grab it, don't you? Like Pavlov's pooches, we have trained ourselves.
Good on you for picking up to much trash! Ha! You're going for the land record for Fighting Conch Collections, right? Do they have an Olympic event for shell collecting?
Oh, the suspense of waiting for your surprise! I know it will be worth it!
Thank you for the boat ride, the sunrise and for the shelling trip! It's always such a treat to go along with you!
Happy days and good shelling to you, dear Beach Angel.
Love from the Lost Mermaid
Yes, I do believe I have been trained to immediately bend down and grab shells if they are rolling around in the surf 😂 I guess it's better than drooling right? And it sounds like you are just about ready! I had a SUPER fun day not too long ago (I'll be sure to share) and picked up so many shells that within the first hour I had to unload them from my shell bag and get them into my backpack. Good call on the backpack! It's a lot easier to carry the weight on your back than over your shoulder. And I just may end up with that record for the fighting conchs. I just can not help myself! Hugs! 🥰
Such an awesome day! I was there on February 15th and it was just so amazing!
Thanks so much for tagging along with me!
Hello from thawing out Billings,Montana
Hello back! 🏝️
Thanks!
Thank you so much Lori!! I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Another great day! I would love to live there and be able to go shelling so often!
I'm so lucky!
Maddie, what a great day you had. It’s getting hard to pick a favorite every video. There’s so many that I love.. I agree with you for today.. That Moon snail is STUNNING ❤❤❤See you next time my friend!! ❤
I have to get down there to find some shells like you found. My husband and I will be in Mexico Beach for a month in June. I can't wait!
