Low tide shelling in the 10,000 islands. Kayaking to islands to get the good stuff!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ม.ค. 2022
- Low tide shelling in the 10,000 islands is a challenge, since you need to get to all these islands, but once you get there, you know the effort was worth it.
I had planned to go low tide shelling on this particular day for quite a few weeks, since the tide was going to be very negative, and it was hard to choose the perfect spot. I ended up visiting 2 different locations and today we'll explore the first one - Dickman's island.

You are a brave woman to kayak by yourself with that black cloud nearby! Thanks for your wonderful shell adventure videos!
Rain didn't bother me, but that wind really played havoc on the rest of my day!
That wind almost looked like smoke blowing across the sand. I get so excited seeing those shells. So glad I found you!
The gulf beaches are truly some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!!! Thank you for sharing this little bit of paradise with us!!!! Stay safe!!!!!
What a haul!!! Jewel boxes and
Lace murex’s just gorgeous!!! The limpet was one of the nicest one I have viewed! But the alphabet cone was the winner of the haul❣️
That cone was gorgeous and so fun to find! Thanks for coming along with me!
Curled up here in SC, with everything blanketed in snow, loving every second of this beach walk! Thanks for taking us along. 🤗
Thanks for watching!
Snow in South Carolina? I thought it was warm there?
@@MrWiseinheart It's warmer now. We get a light dusting of snow/ice every couple years or so in the SC low country.
@@MrWiseinheart NW SC averages around 10" /yr. in the mountains.
You have truly taught me soooooo much about shells. I’m so proud of myself because when you would show a shell I’d name it off before you told us what it was 🤗 oh I sooooo need one of those hinged spiny jewel boxes in my life!!!! It was gorgeous!!!!!! I dream to have just some of the type of shells you find!!!! All I’ve ever found when we go to Flagler beach Fl are clam shells, I have tons and tons of common clam shells 😫 not even a broken sand dollars!!! My cousins went to Tybee island and brought me back some sand dollars so right now these are my prized possessions of shells 💞
When you finally make it here you'll have to go to Marco Island. I seem to always find the mermaid money there. I remember when my husband and I found our first intact sand dollar. We treasured it! To think I can go and find several in one day is still a little mind blowing. The beaches down here are amazing and I can't wait for you to see them yourself!
@@SWFBeachLife I can’t wait either sweet friend!!! I’m so excited for us to meet and go shell hunting together 🤗🧜🏼♀️
Love the tutorial. I have shells saved from my grandmother. She was wintered on Captiva. 1930s.Now i know what they are. Thank you
I'm gobsmacked at all the shells!!! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Love walking on the beach with you today...its snowing right now in Harrisburg Pa !
Ugh, stay warm beach friend!
At the Jersey Shore, we don’t have snow a boy do we have cold! It was 5°F in my yard yesterday at 6 AM. This is the time of year we’re going to Florida it’s just so incredibly wonderful. To go from the colder the snow down to a beach with warm water and shells everywhere. I have not been to the West Coast of Florida in over 25 years. I still miss it so much. Now that my son is grown I think I’ll go spend a week down there looking for shells. Thank you for making these videos they make my day Kathy
Which exit? We used to go to Island Beach State Park and boy I never found anything good on the beaches. Down here is a totally different story. If you come in the summer, the gulf water is WARM! It blew my mind. I hope you do decide to come because it's really just an absolutely wonderful experience.
I went to Florida on the West Coast about 30 years ago to Sanibel Island best week of my life. There are sharks teeth on the beach between Belmar in Avon on the Belmar side the big giant surf clams I use those shells to line my flowerbeds. They’re not sure we are anything but they’re good for calcium. Someday I’m going to return down to the West Coast of Florida. Oh I was exit 98 Belmar Avon Asbury Park. As Berry Park speech is now are spectacular there is not a piece of trash anywhere you’re not allowed to smoke on them they have cleaned it up so much. And there’s a whole bunch of crafters not crafters artisans there’s a glass blower there was a potter I don’t know if it’s still there. The housing is a fortune. When I worked there 20 to 23 years ago you could buy one of those giant Victorians for $100,000 with zero interest now they’re going for two 3 million each. Take care of yourself
What a lovely explore. Very varied shells too. Cant wait for Kice Kice baby!! stay safe x
Kice Kice baby! ❤️
Great walk today!! Thanks for sharing...I had fun and I'm so happy you saw that limpet. That is a really nice alphabet cone you found too.
I always look forward to your video every week. This was a great video. Lots of beautiful shells. 🐚😊🐌
Thank you!!! 🐚
My Granddaughter and I look forward to your videos. Thank you so much for showing us all your shells. Soon we will be moving to SW Florida. We go to Sanibel every year and love when you show Sanibel! Much Love! 💖🌴🌺
OMG!! That hinged spiny jewel box is an awesome find! Beautiful!
Lucky you....first that the tornado didn't drop down over you and for the fabulous haul of shells you found!!! I'm so happy for you!
That tornado was about 7 miles from my home - way too close for comfort! Thanks so much for coming along with me on m beach walk!
Awesome day. Those spiny jewel boxes are fantastic.
Wow, that wasn't low tide, it was NO tide! Awesome haul. That lightning whelk, the lace murex, the true tulip, that alphabet cone! Totally envious!
It was a "Super" low tide day and I was going to take advantage as much as I could! Next week is Kice and few tips about kayaking in really high wind....hope you have a great week!
Another great day collecting shells. Thanks for taking us along!
You are very welcome. Thank you for coming along with me!
Well I thought last week's video was fantastic but this week has surpassed it. I loved the true tulip, that first big lightening whelk, that amazing lace murex that was nearly perfect...and even a gorgeous example of my favorite shell, the auger! Wow, just so many beautiful shells, thank you so much for taking me along every week!
Thank YOU for watching and coming along with me! I hope you have a great week!
Glad you are safe! Found a bunch of super shells!

Some days are better than others, but there's no such thing as a bad day at the beach!
I also love all kind of shells, I have few from goldbeach in Bulgaria ( black sea). East beach ..Australia, Costa Brava..Lanzarote...Northsea....and when I don't find and see in market..I buy from there...but from Australia I did not buy for 60 $ even I love it so much, it looks like a pearl so shiny, but german don't aloved...bad guys( maybe jealous...😡😃
Ty for sharing. We got 70 cm of snow!. Beautiful to see about blowing around but sunshine is good too.
Awesome possum!.xo ty.
oh those nicker nuts, sea beans make the cutest beads for earrings and necklaces and can be dried and painted on : )
I thought they might be sea pearls or sea beans and when I looked them up - nickernuts! I still think sea pearls sound just as lovely. 🤗
Thanks for a beautiful walk on the beach. I love all the beautiful seashells you find. Looks like so much fun. ❤️
It always is! Hope you have a great week!
Wow! Super alphabet cone & hinged spiny jewel boxes! Good for you! That huge jingle was really cool, too. Thanks for the fun walk!
Thank you so much 🤗
I love, love, love that tiny PERFECT lace murex, it’s one of my favorite shells I’ve ever seen you find! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure, so much fun!
Oh my what a beautiful collection of beautiful shells!!!!!! ❤️I’m so happy you are so blessed!!!!!!
Thank you! I am so grateful to live where I do! 🙏🏼
I love your singsong voice and your energy. You make us feel like we are there and sharing the thrills of finding treasure!
Well thank you so much for coming along with me!
Thank you so much again Sharmon❣️I love the bunch of all that beauties you found love it love it love it 😍🐚😍🤩
Thank you beach friend!
Omg I love your videos. They are getting me through the winter up here in Cincinnati. I just watched your shell sorting video from a year ago. I love how you display them. Funny to see your gumball machine! I am 63 and bought one when I was 16. We just downsized and I hung into it!!! Like many of your fans … I too think it’s a great idea!!! Thank you!
I used to visit Cincinnati every summer! I loved King's Island and riding The Beast ☺️
I acquired the gum ball machine while I was still living in NJ, so of course I filled it with shells collected here in Florida. Then the whole thing make the move down here. It's been around and I just love it too!
What a marvelous day! I can't believe how many murex you found. My favorite shell. Looking forward to next week's finish. Maybe you'll find another great cone shell!
One of my favorite collections that you found, thanks for the fun walk
Thank you so much for showing the difference between the lace and apple murex. Got it. Absolutely love your channel. I was watching the storm come in this morning and was wondering if you would go out or not. Glad you safe. I bet the travels back was interesting. 😀
Oh I went out alright and the trip home was....interesting is one way to put it. I share all next week!
Snowing here in NoVA. Thanks for the sunny and beach time!
Wow!! This is an amazing day of finds and amazing video and camera angles. I have always wanted to go down to Marco to shell... now it's a FOR SURE!! Thank you so much!!
You are so very welcome! It's really quite an experience.
👍🙏🥰 you found a lot of wonderful coloured shells...I love them all. I like all your definitions of shell name..hoping to come soon, to see by myself there with hubby and son...❤❤❤🙏🍀👍👪🖐
I hope you find lots of great shells if you do make the trip here! 🐚
Oh my gosh! All your finds amazing. Love the spiny jewel box, those lighting whelks so big and the horse conchs. My faves no matter how big or small. That cone amazing! I could go on and on. 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚
I'm surprised your kayak didn't sink with all those fabulous shells! Love your pruney fingers :-)
Well I thank you for coming along with me. I waited 3 long years to move to Florida so I'm making up for lots of lost time!
Thank you once again. Those tiny, tiny shells are amazing. You know if I ever get to the beach in Florida I will have a very good knowledge of the shells. Thank you so much x
Great walk on the beach shelling, with you, thank you
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful shells all around! Love that little lace murex towards the end with that pink tip; so many sand dollars that were in great shape; who doesn't love a good horse conch; and those spiny (read as spiky) jewel boxes... and let's not forget that perfect alphabet cone! An awesome trip, for sure.
I had myself a great time among all those treasures! Thank you for coming along with me!
Wow! is about all I can think of at the moment. What an amazing haul you had today. It’s hard to pick a favorite since I don’t get to hunt and they are all keepers to me. But I do love the spiny jewel boxes and the perfect alphabet cone. Again, thanks for taking us with you!!
Fantastic finds! Thanks for another great video! 🙋🙋💙💙
What a treasure trove!
That area had a little bit of everything!
Sorry it's taken me so long to get to this... Sometimes when the beach is loaded like that, you hardly know where to start and immediately FOMS sets in. 😂 Very cool lace murex! Beautiful shark eye! Very nice size LW! And you found ANOTHER gorgeous complete SJ!!! Gorgeous! Yes, that was a beautiful live lightning whelk. Very nice limpet! Wow! What a perfect juv LM! Gorgeous GN! And another! Very pretty TT, especially the color! Wonderful AC!! Very nice specimen! Huge AM! Very nice haul, Sharmon! xxoo
Oh FOMS is real and I was on a shell-high when I was out there. It was SO fun! I'll be missing the shells in a couple of months so when the shelling is good I'm going to take advantage!
Oh Sharmon! That alphabet cone is awesome!!! I have a chain hanging from my review mirror that I drilled a whole in my favorite shells from Sanibel and an alphabet just like that is on it. I never get tired of them. My favorites next to scallops. So many beautiful shells on a perfect day. You are a lucky lucky lady to live there and enjoy that beauty and those shells every day. Love it so much. Can't wait to come back!
I am a very lucky lady to live here! I wish I could go to the beach every day, but at least I get to go a few times a week. And I get to share these beaches with you! Thanks so much for watching!
I just love how you talk with almost each shell!! I absolutely love your videos!! From Kentucky
Thank you!!
I love all your finds, but especially the Spiny Jewel box, the sand dollars and the Lace Murex. Amazing finds!
Tiny lightning whelk is so cute...love the tinies💜
What a great haul! Glad you stayed safe.
Two more weeks! I’ll be on the beach myself! Doing one tour so far with Treasure Seekers. Might also book a kayak tour! Haven’t decided. My tide app isn’t showing “low/negative low” tides while I’ll be there 😔 but nonetheless I can’t wait to fill my shell bags!
Next best thing to low tides is an incoming tide and next best thing is just being at the beach! I didn't pay attention to tides for a long time and it never stopped me from finding something pretty!
Wonderful finds! Awesome shelf cloud, and the horseshoe crab!! Hope I get to find some nice shells when I'm there...glad you are safe !!
Was impressed with the limpet. On one of my trips I was at a sand bar point covered with littles on North Captiva. I was messing with my phone camera trying to take close ups to turn into desktop wallpaper. When I got home and was setting them up as wallpaper, the shot had 5 or 6 limpets. I was so busy taking photos, I totally missed them! Darn!!!
NO! That would drive me insane! I see some of the shells I miss sometimes when I'm editing. You might not have got the shells but I bet the photo you got is awesome!
So glad someone else loves beachcombing!
I'm addicted!
Awesome haul Sharmon! Love the tiny shells! Thanks for taking us along and thanks for the beach time! Have a great week!
Hope you have a good week too Donna!
Wow! That alphabet cone is gorgeous! Love the spiny jewel boxes too! Thank you!
Wow!! You did have an extraordinary day shelling!! Nice!!
* WOW ~ You really found a wonderful assortment of Moon snails & spiny jewel boxes. It was wonderful to see your finds.. Thanks for Sharing.. I do appreciate it..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and beautiful shells. Love those spikey jewel boxes. That limpet find was great. I've never found one. Love your new intro!
Thank you on all accounts!
It was a great day! I went out on Sanibel today- I have to leave for upstate SC tomorrow morning. I’ll be going to the beach with you every Sunday! How blessed you are to live in SW Florida!
I am SO lucky! I was on Sanibel today hoping to score some goodies after the crazy weather yesterday! I hope you're going home with lots of treasures!
@@SWFBeachLife - my husband and I went for a long weekend to try to process a devastating medical diagnosis he received the day before we left(spur of the moment trip). Of course, I looked for a Junonia or Scotch Bonnet or a Lion’s Paw. Buy, I did better than that! A couple was shelling near me. We started talking, and the wife gave me a beautiful alphabet cone and told me that she’ll is a reminder I have people in another state praying for us. How cool is that?!
@@jamie6580 Us shell obsessed people have to look out for each other! That is amazing and I am also sending sunshine and healthy thoughts your way! ❤️
@@SWFBeachLife - thank you so much. Life will be changing for my husband and me, but I’m helping him make memories when we can. I even have him watching your channel now! Good medicine!
Oh my - the first juvenile lace murex and the alphabet cone! What wonderful finds.
Lots of shells there, so much to look through. Lots of spiny jewel boxes. I'm glad the storm passed over and it cleared up for you. That alphabet cone was gorgeous. A lot of great shells you found there. Looking forward to Kice island adventure.
Awesome Alphabet Cone! And that large Lightning Whelk was impressive! And very restful and enjoyable as well. Thanks! Hugs from Virginia Sharmon! 🐚🍥
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for coming along with me!
Your video makes me miss the beach and shelling sooooo much! Glad you can bring it to those in the north woods!
Have wanted to visit Sanibel Island since I was 10. Turning 63 this week and still haven't made it. Adulting got in the way, and now physical limitations would pretty much prohibit it. But your videos... Oh my!! I can't imagine passing over those shell piles so quickly! They all look like treasure piles!! Grande storm clouds in the beginning too! As I sit here in the snow covered Tennessee mountains, longing for the beach.
Well beach friend, I can virtually get you to the beach every week. I know it's not the same, but I am thinking of my viewers every minute I'm out there. And I thank you for taking the time to watch and come along with me!
Hi Sharmon,
Congratulations with finding that Limpet! Yay, another bucketlist item.
You found so many gorgeous shells😍, that was quite a haul! Can't tell which one is my favourite, they are all amazing.
I've already a little hunch what will happen next week. Poor you.... think your arms almost fell off. 😕
Wishing you a wonderful week, hopefully filled with sunshine (less rain and wind) and amazing finds.
Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤, Ilona
It was about 4 days before I could use my right arm properly 😅 Hey, live and learn. It all turns out alright!
@@SWFBeachLife That was a painful lesson to learn. 🥴 Glad your arm is better now. 😘
I am so excited about all you found today! Glad you stayed safe!! Double jewel boxes again!!!!
I live on the west coast. We have some shells, but nothing like that. My kids found a moon snail once.
When I do find a whole, undamaged shell, I feel the thrill of victory. I can't walk the beach without looking for shells. I love that you know all of the names!
Keyhole limpets are something that I have found more.thsn one of on the west coast.
Your fingers are so pruny. You had a good day.
The thrill of victory is exactly what I feel when I'm out finding those gorgeous shells too!
Another awsome video some day I will get to visit down there. Keep up the awesome videos I look forward to them every week
Thank you got taking me on this beautiful journey! I felt like I was walking along the beach with you!😎
Thank you for coming along with me!
Hope you are safe with the tornado! Glad you could take us along with you and happy MLK day!!❤️❤️
What a glorious shelling day you found so many beautiful goodies thank you for braving the rain to give us such an exciting video I'm here and its snowing today so this was nice have a great week
Love to see your walk... wish I was there so much!!!
Loved seeing all the shells on the island! Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow what a beautiful day and nice variety of shells you found ! That alphabet cone -wow gorgeous! Nice day regardless of rain ! Sometimes that’s the best days ! Thanks again for a beautiful day at the beach !
The rain sure keeps the other people away!
Another fun video. For the first time I watched you on the TV.. It's really amazing to view your video in screen. 😊
😊 thank you! I hope you enjoyed your beach walk!
Sitting in my shell room and enjoying every second of this video while it is snowing here in PA. I hope you are safe and sound knowing that there was a tornado today in FT Meyers. 😟 Praying for all!
The EF2 hit a few miles away and to wake up to a tornado alarm wasn't all that much fun, however the shelling today was! Stay warm beach friend!
Glad you are safe and sound!! 8 inches of snow today but it’s all good!! We booked a trip to Sanibel for November of this year. Staying for a month! Something to look forward to!! 👏😀
Thank you love the beach walk 🥰
Great video, as always! Love your channel! ❤🐚🐚
Thank you so much!
I’m in south central Washington and I’m just freaking out over all the shells you pass by😂. In fact, I want to go shell hunting so bad I’m obsessed with these videos. Last night I went online and ordered a bunch from Etsy and Amazon. I’m so envious of you, but so thankful that you share your experiences. 👍👏
I lived in congested, mean Northeast NJ before I moved here. I am in awe how lucky I am to have all these places so close! I am blessed and happy to share everything I'm learning and finding on these gorgeous beaches. You should come and find some goodies for yourself! PS - I sell some of my shells. Email me at swfbeachlife@gmail.com if you'd like some info!
Had To Watch Again !! Super day !!
Hi, I'm a new subscriber - I'm so happy I found you! I'm crazy for shells; they are truly gems of another kind. I've watched a few of your vids so far, and I've just got to say "I LOVE what you're doing" 😃 Not only that, I've learned quite a bit already. You have reignited my fascination/love for shells & all things ocean. I grew up on & in the ocean in Southern California (Land of the crazies!). Thank you for your fun & informative vids. I will continue with binging on shells, from Sacramento, California
Welcome aboard! We're going to find all sorts of neat things this winter (shells) and probably see some cool creatures come Spring/Summer. There is always something interesting to check out at the beach and I'm glad you've decided to tag along!
New to your channel, everything is beautiful. What a pretty picture it would be just the way you have your findings arranged.
I’m so happy to have found your channel. You have taught me so much in just 2 videos! Thank you for sharing your adventures and commentary!
Well thank you so much for watching!!
We also had a negative tide. Found 2 big lightning Whelk. About 8" each. So exciting! As usual, love your video. Pure awesomeness!
WOW! Lucky find! I don't find those big ones. All the people that are out at 3am beat me to the good stuff! 😅
i love your video's there so calming to me and enjoy the view and of coarse the shells.........i would love to come and go shelling with you just awesome .......i learned so much from you ...........fan forever in red oak tx..........on to the next one...........
Hi sweet friend!!! I hope you all are safe from those tornadoes hitting in Florida today. Thank you for this video. I needed a beachy seashelly day today since we have winter storm Izzy hitting here right now. Love you my seashelling friend 🧜🏼♀️
We were awoken to the sound of a tornado alert - that will get you up right quick! The tornado was a few miles away so we were okay. Good to know the alert system works great! You stay cozy with all this nutty weather!
Awesome shelling ! I love those Sunray Venus Clams ! Those Calico scallops you have down there are more vibrant than here in Navarre Beach. I want to find one with the orange sunburst one day ! Glad you were ok during the tornado. Looking forward to your video next week as always.
All of those things are so so great! Love, Evelyn
Awesome trip to the beach. Thank you so much for sharing the beach with us.
So glad you missed the Tornadoes. Great finds
Thanks for the video. My beach walk on Sunday was 22 degrees. I think it’s time to move south!
Dang! I am whining if it drops below 70! It was in the 50's this morning but I didn't care. The shells were calling!
I love walking along the beach with you. I am from south east coast of Australia.
Thank you for watching my beach walks all the way from down under! ❤️
Oh my..Fantastic day ! So jealous.. be there soon ! Thank you for beach time !!
Today you find a great, wonderful collection.
I ❤️love this all.
Thank you so much!
Loved that video, lots of great finds!
I envy your trips I used to shell like you do but I'm not close to Marco anymore 😔 my best friend used to live there, she passed away 💔I miss her and our fun bumming around. I enjoy your, Let's go the Beach, videos good memories 😊
You had a great day…..thanks for sharing
Quite the collection today! I love the littles...every time you reach down for a shell I find myself pausing the video so I can search the pile for littles. Lol! It's like a shelling where's Waldo and I love it!
You'll like next weeks video. Tons of piles and I do comb through them more than I usually do 🤗
@@SWFBeachLife Yay! I can't wait!
