- Sea shell hunting in Florida on Captiva allowed me to find some sea shells I hadn't found before. Somehow I always end up finding something interesting - even when there's not much on the beach to find.

Watching these shell videos have become a nightly routine when getting my daughters (1 year and 3 years old) to bed. They get so excited to watch it but your voice is so soothing that they always fall asleep before it’s over lol. Theses videos are so relaxing!
Lovely. TFS.
I LOVE THIS! Beachcombing is really the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation all at the same time. I'm glad I can be a little assistance in the bed-time department!
Me too!
I am the same way! I enjoy listening and relaxing before bed.
One of the many reasons I love watching your videos is: the way you shoot your videos without making me dizzy. A lot of videos by others are taken without any editing and they move there camera so quickly that it makes them difficult to watch!, Thanks for making it so enjoyable to watch your videos!
I have been editing videos much longer than I've been shell collecting, so I had a little bit of a head start. I'm glad you find them enjoyable and I thank you so much for taking the time to come along with me on my beach walks!
I agree
You are very blessed to live so close to great beaches! Thank you again for taking me along. I love everyone of our adventures together! Even though I'm not really there with you it is the next best thing to being there so thank you so much. 😄
It would be a shame to not share all the amazing things I get to see. Thank YOU for taking the time to come along with me!
Today you find a lot of beautiful shells and a lot of corals, I like too, normal they are hard to find..👍😀🙏🥰❤, have all a nice weekend 🖐
Thank you so much! I hope you have a nice weekend too!
I've never commented before, but I wanted to tell you how much your videos have meant to me. Sanibel and shelling has always been our happy place and favorite vacation activity. We haven't been able to get there for two years due to Covid and then caring for my mom. I look forward to your videos every week as a bright spot in my life. Thank you so much for taking me to the beach when I can't get there.
Michelle you are so very welcome! I hope you're able to come here soon and the enjoy the beach for yourself again!
Nice haul Sharmon! And the sunrise! WOW! All the tiny shells and all the kitten paws! Thanks for the beach time! Have a great week!
I hope you have a great week too beach friend! ❤️
I look forward to your videos. I watch them multiple times. Thanks for bringing the beach alive.
Thanks for watching!
I look forward to your walks! Going to Sanibel and shelling for the first time in my 6 decade life. Can't wait to switch gears out of the Northern Midwestern cold. Been learning so much about the shells and sea life from your videos. Thank you!
That burnt orange Turban was absolutely STUNNING! I absolutely love the scallops, they are my weakness, lol 😂 I love all your wonderful shell finds. Thank you for the wonderful beach time and scenery on Sundays 🤩🤩🙌🙌🥰☀️☀️☀️
I could probably pick up a 100 scallops and find something interesting or beautiful about each one. These shells are so irresistible! Thank you so much for coming along with me!
Oh my gosh, my heart melted with those Bittersweet Clams - they are some of my favorites to pick up! They are definitely MUCH more common on Florida's south east coast, but so awesome to see you find them!
Interestingly enough, I do believe some species of live Augers possess the ability to sting(like Cones) - though I am not sure about the American Auger.
Hmmm, come to think of it I've never found a live auger! I've seen them inhabited by the tiniest crabs, but I've never seen a live specimen. I'll have to make sure not to get too friendly should I find one! And I was totally psyched to see those bittersweet clams too!
Thank you again. The Beach Time was so beautiful with the birds. Gorgeous morning on te beach. Beautiful shells x
Just wanted to drop you a comment on how good you are at filming, commentating, and editing your videos. I have been looking at several other sheller's videos and have been disappointed and irritated by most of them. Many of them move the camera too fast, blurring the view and almost causing motion sickness. 🤢 Some of them only film the ground while they grab the shell without showing us the shell itself. Most of them do not identify all the shells they pick up. And a lot of them do not understand where the focal point is for their camera and do not understand how to balance their volume.😒 One even used politically incorrect descriptive terms. You were the first sheller I followed and now I know that I definitely found the best first. 👌 Your voice is so nice to listen to and you make the video fun. I sincerely hope that you enjoy making these videos as much as we all enjoy watching them. Thank you. You are greatly appreciated. 🤗
Thank you so much so all the amazing feedback! I try to make my videos as enjoyable as possible, and I'll throw as many tide-bits of knowledge I've picked up along the way as well. I do truly love my beach walks - some are a little more fun than others, but there is always something new to admire and I'm so lucky this is the area of Florida we chose to move to. Thank you for choosing to come along with me on my beach walks!
Yup..Had to watch again ! Thank you for the video !!
Beautiful beach ! Wow that orange turbine was gorgeous!! Thanks for the beach time ! You found some interesting shells today !
I know they’re common, but I really love the kitten paws! Beautiful beach day!
Ohhh the flats n kitten's paws n orange turbins...beautiful! 💗
Oh this beach is beautiful! Great finds! The orange chestnuts are gorgeous. Thank you for taking me on this lovely walk.
You are so welcome ☺️
I have learned so much from your videos, THANK YOU! I just returned home from my second FL trip in the last month and shelling this year was just so different than in the past. My friends were so impressed with how much I knew about shells this time around. it was so much fun!
I think everything is a little more fun with a wee bit of knowledge. I'm glad you had fun and I hope you found lots of treasures!
Back in the early 90's Captiva had so many shells you couldn't even walk. They were all very big and I didn't know their names but it's a beautiful Island.
I think it was a good shelling day at Captiva. Cool orange turbin. Lots of kitten paws. I love the flat scallops. Those bitter sweet clams look nice. I think you did good finding quite a bit. Looking forward to the next video.
I love walking the beaches with you. Every time I watch I wish I lived on the east coast instead of the west coast . Thank you
Oh those orange turbans are so pretty! Good finds and beauty day! Thank you!
Hi, Charmon! Great little haul today! You were mentioning the dark sand at Captiva. It reminded me of the sand we see at Tawas Bay State Park, on Lake Huron, on Michigan's East (Sunrise side) coast. Most of the sand is beige and sugar white, but there are layers of dense black sand, too. It's actually fine, black magnetite, a form of iron pyrite, if memory serves me correctly. Remember the toy we used to play with where we'd use a magnet to drag iron filings to bald Willy's scalp and face? Well, those filings are magnetite. It's often a reliable indicator for the presence of flour gold, and you can skim it off the wet sand and try your hand at panning it out. Use a magnet to remove the black "sand", and there's your flour gold. It's often found in the River Thames, too. No need to thank me; my head is just full of all kinds of trivial, mostly-useless nuggets that I'm only too glad to pass on. Love your channel!
I want you on my Trivial Pursuit team! I always go for the green questions, which you're probably good at too, but just the same. So I did a little reading about Florida sand - it's mostly quartz from the Appalachian mountains if you can believe that. The slope of Captiva is different than Sanibel (which is why Sanibel typically will have more shells) so I'm wondering if that's why the sand is darker. The soft white sand can't make it up onto the beach. I was going to maybe go to the Captiva library to see if I could find someone that knows the answer but not sure when I can make it over there. And now I want to bring a magnet to the beach with me to see if anything sticks!
@@SWFBeachLife OH! I hope you will! That'd be a really neat short...or maybe longer video? I can believe it about sand coming from so far. Here in Michigan, we get so many minerals and rocks that have traveled from the Arctic and other areas, dragged by the glaciers that gouged the Great Lakes for us. By the way, did you know that the entire Gt. Lks. region is still rebounding upward from the weight of those glaciers? Honest! That soft white sugar sand at Lake Superior can get oven-hot in the Summer sun; not a place for strappy sandals. The waves wash the magnetite onto it and from afar, it sometimes looks like zebra stripes when its all riffle-textured. Yes, I do believe we are kindred spirit trivia geeks! LOL
@@pbonniejean Kindred nerds unite! That is so neat about the striped sand. The sand down here doesn't get hot in the summer like some of the other sands do. I suppose it's the quartz and crushed shell. The sand on the east coast - woo boy, you better bring shoes or you'll be dancing all the way to the water!
You are the most respectful in nature out there and best videography too!! 🙌
Appreciate that!!
Wow, this time you found a lot of corals..I like them a lot, paint a lot in red and white too...your sea shells are all beautiful. You can open a museum if you don't sell the most...
Have a nice week 👍😀❤🍀
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a nice week too!
I also found lots of the brown worm shells and didn't know what they were. Thank you for enlightening me!
I always pick up the worm shells!
Oh, Thank you so much for another trip on your beautiful beaches. I love all your new beautiful tiny findings. Especially that orange Chestnut turban. Look forward to the next week. I am also wishing you a good week Sharmon❣️
Thank you so much! I hope you have a great week too!
The beaches are so calm I honestly can’t fathom that. Beaches here on the west coast of West Australia (Perth) etc are never like that and I mean NEVER. When watching you it makes me feel like your at a lake, lol.
Even if our waves were kinda calmish there’d still be crashing smaller waves on the shore, never would the waters just gently lap like in this video.
Infact if you stand just knee deep the current/pull of the waves going in n out can often unbalance you just in the shallows. You wouldn’t be able to peer thru clear waters either, it’d be all swirling misty sand, maybe a lil sea weed.
So so envious. If I get over to the US again (that’s if I can ever afford it again, lol) Il definitely be going shelling at every destination I can find.
W a lovely day with you on Captiva Beach…it’s certainly “Capti-vated “ my mind. 💙🙏🏻🐡🐙🐬🐠🐚🐚🐚
I grew up with the cold Atlantic up in New Jersey so it took me quite a while to wrap my head around the calm Gulf waters and the fact they get WARM in the summer. The ocean gets WARM!! We don't get the waves like the East Coast so on a calm day you can watch the shells just rolling around in the surf and pick them up. I hope you do get to visit here again. Maybe even go on a shell tour to one of the fantastic islands we have!
Captiva never disappoints! Those turbans were so cool. I believe the mystery shell at 11:26 is a Comb Bittersweet. The Scallop at 13:53 I think is a Calico, I don't think Bay scallops get such bright red coloration, and just the overall shape seems to match Calico better in my opinion. What a fun beach exploration!
A comb bittersweet - of course! I should have considered that with all the other East Coast shells I was finding. I do have a hard time telling the different between the larger calicos and the bay scallops - which I know also come in a white coloration. So many fantastic mysteries out there. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Sharmin! I can finally say I'm coming to Florida!!! I was hoping I might be able to get some advice on shell bags, tours and recommendations as I have never been. And don't worry, I know I must search for treasures....lol! If you are able to, I would appreciate it! In the meantime, take care, keep having fun and thanks for sharing!
Congrats on coming to Florida! What area will you be visiting? Marco Island is about an hour from Fort Myers so some of these places are a little spread out. I use a mesh bag that I sling over my shoulder when I'm out hunting (need to keep both hands free) and don't forget a little container for small and delicate things you might find. Happy to answer any other questions you might have!
I have found one bright orange chestnut turban! I was so happy. Love all the Bittersweet shells!
I love watching all you're videos. They make me look forward to Sunday's llol
Meow!!! So many kitten paws. What a great way to spend a morning!
Good finds. I've never gone that far up the beach on Captiva, staying near the parking. Next trip I will definitely explore farther up the beach.
So much fun watching your channel. Thank you!
My favorite part of Sunday! Great haul for a not so Shelly day at the beach. Thanks for another great beach day!
I was a little nervous there but I ended up finding some decent goodies after all! Thanks so much for coming along with me!
@21:06, the shells are beautiful, but OMG, that is a heavenly beach view/scene! Calgon, take me away (to Captiva Isle., FL now please). 😆 🤣 🐚 ❤
Great video. Heading that way midweek. Excited to see some beautiful shells. I learn so much from you!
I hope you find lots of goodies!
Thanks for the beach walk. Makes me wish for July to hurry up and get here.
I' ve seen Chestnut Turbins before but had no idea they came in that bright orange color - super cool!👍😊
I know right?!
Nice shelling as always! I believe there are a lot of bittersweets in the panhandle. My sister brought me some from her trip to Pensacola.
I love the Chestnut Turbans and the bright orange ones made me love them even more! I didn’t know they came in that color.
I know me either! What a pleasant surprise!
Thanks for the beach walk!Very restoritve!
I always enjoy the beach time, today especially so...those cute little birdies! The tiny shells added up to a pretty collection.
I'm sure I'll be paying more attention to those tiny shells once summer comes and the shells start to hide again. There is always something interesting to check out at the beach!
I made a cool necklace with a bunch of kitten paws. Love those things.
Hi Sharmon
Thank you so much for taking us with you on your beach walk adventures!
I'm the typical "crazy cat lady" so I love the kitten paws!😻
I've tried Google image for your mystery shell at 11:25...... could it be a Comb Bittersweet?
Just had a family weekend in a house near the see. Unfortunately I wasn't able to walk on the beach and search for shells, but seeing the see from almost every window in the house was such a treat!😍
Wishing you a wonderful week, can't wait to see your next video!
Big hug and lots of love ❤️, xoxo Ilona
Yes, I do indeed believe that mystery shell is a comb bittersweet! It should have occurred to me since I was finding the other bittersweets but live and learn! I have to agree that having that view of the ocean is just so wonderful - I'm so glad you got to experience it on your family weekend. I hope it it brought you some strength and it's restorative powers for weeks to come! I hope you are well and you have a good rest of your week! ❤️
I have a feeling you're going to find your junonia soon. At least I'm hoping. Turns out to be a decent haul albeit a slow start. I agree that part of the fun is actually hunting for the shells. I could definitely buy most of these shells at a store but that isn't nearly as fun and satisfying as actually finding them yourself. Thanks for taking us along!
You nailed it on the head! I went to the Sanibel Shell show and while I like oogling at the shells, there's just something about the ones you find for yourself. I had no interest in buying any shells - but now I want to travel the world and see what I can find! Until that happens I'll just keep roaming these gorgeous Florida beaches. And with any luck I'll stumble upon that Junonia one of these days! 🙏🏼
I SO ENJOY GOING SHELLING WITH YOU, LOVE HOW YOU TALK TO US
Leaving FMB tomorrow and headed back to the snow. I am sad but did find some good shells.
A comb bittersweet - of course! I should have considered that with all the other east coast shells that were showing up. Once those calico scallops get big I do have a hard time telling them from the bay scallops, which I know can have that white coloration. I'm glad there's still mysteries out there!
A cool adventure never the less!! Awesome turbans especially the orange ones..I really liked the painted cockles! Never had any and the big augers! I would like to see a buttercup locune.. added one of those to my list.. not to mention the junonia fragment too!!!!
I found a couple of hinged buttercups yesterday! I'll show you on my next freezing walk! 🥶
Those wildflowers are gorgeous!
I would love to find a flat. But only coming to FL 2-3 times a year reduces my chances. Thanks for allowing us vicarious shell collecting!
I always look forward to your weekly videos. Thank you! I visited Florida from December 2021 through February 2022 and was so obsessed with shelling that I decided to move to Florida. I will be there in two weeks and cannot wait to shell. P.S. My husband calls me "Shelly" now due to my obsession.
Had I only known about the Florida shells, I would have moved here sooner! I hope you find lots of treasures when you get here! 🐚
I have recently discovered your videos. OMG! They are so amazing on so many levels. They are exciting and relaxing all at the same time. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of shells and Florida's beaches. You've got a new fan!
Welcome aboard! It is amazing how relaxing and exciting beachcombing is. I'm obsessed!
You were the inspiration for a weekend trip to Ft. Myers so that I could beach comb. I’ve been watching your TH-cam shelling for some time. I collected two boxes of goodies to bring back to Summerfield which is 3 hours away. My husband was so helpful in finding a spot to park which was close to the ancient pier. On the beach at 6:45 am. Sunrise pictures and many large hinged cockles. ♥️ Many beautiful Sun Ray Venus. Even more shells that I discovered I learned their names through osmosis 😆 such a wonderful weekend! Thanks. A fan.
Awww - I love this! I'm so glad you made the trek and found a bunch of great souvenirs to bring home. Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed one of my favorite beaches!
I think a lot of the complete kitten paws are actually fossilized as they're really solid without even an split at the opening edge. Don't think I've ever found a bittersweet here, but they are also common in the panhandle. I would guess the mystery shell at 11:21 is some kind of bittersweet also (comb perhaps?) because of the thickness. The coral actually built on the kp. They build on lots of stuff, just like barnacles. I have a barnacle on a piece of styrofoam as a souvenir. Yeah, orange ct's are common here. I think I sent you a pair of earrings out of some. Congrats on the flats! Hope those orange ct's dried nice and bright for you. Sometimes they look a lot different dry. Very cool find with the r/b ark! Don't think I've ever found one of those. I feel the same way leaving Honeymoon over the Dunedin causeway. Thanks. Sharmon!😘
I've heard that about the kitten paws - but how do you know if they're fossilized or alive? I've found those bittersweet on the East Coast but it was a really nice surprise to have them show up! And yes, I do believe that mystery shell was a bittersweet comb - I should have thought of that since I was finding so many of the other bittersweet! I did look at the jewelry you sent for a bring orange CT but they weren't that really great bright orange color. Such a fun surprise! I went through the other turbans I have and I think if I dip it it might be a bright orange one too. I guess I'm going to find out! Thanks for watching Ginger! ❤️
Glad to see there is more beach at Turner. Last May when we were there, there wasn't much of a beach at the break water. We are coming back down to Sanibel again in May. Definitely will have to go at sunrise to see what we can find...
Lots more beach now to explore! I hope you find great goodies when you're here!
@@SWFBeachLife hope too!
What great finds 😮 just live watching your show ❤
Headed to Sanibel and Venice in May! Love your videos! I can’t wait to walk these beautiful beaches again….”Shell Therapy” much needed!
I remember as a child finding the kitten paws and loved them back then...such pretty little shells. Thank you God for washing them ashore and thank you Sharmon for bringing attention to them. I can't wait to see where you're taking us next week!
Thank you so much for coming along with me! I can't wait to show all the fun things I found on our next adventure!
Another great day at the beach! I love the orange chestnut turbans and horse conchs. You found some really pretty calico scallops today. What a way to spend the day.
Ooh, the walk was lovely, what a great day for Kitten Paws, Bittersweets and coral frags. The colors in the shells you found this week were especially fun to see, and I always love (can’t resist) a few Augers. As always, great video, thanks for sharing.
I can't believe I've never seen a chestnut turban that color. The beach never stops amazing me!
The ocean is so very calm and beautiful where you are.
Loved all the small shells. I was on Turner in January and there was an enormous pile of shells right next to the rock pile that separates Turner and Blind Pass. Shelled both beaches did really well on Blind Pass. Unfortunately I am back in Pa where we just got 3 inches of snow. 9 months and counting till I am back in Captiva. Thank you so much for sharing these videos. I really look forward to them! Saw that there were some storms in SW FL this weekend. Will make for some good shelling for your next video. I am so happy that I became a pateron. Although it is under my maiden name Frumento-Boyle
Thank you so much for supporting me!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Yes, I had every intention of being out there yesterday morning and it was fun - but COLD!!! Got to see some really great stuff though so I'll be sharing that chilly post-storm walk in a few weeks. Thank you again for being awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Looking for a Wentletrap. Everything is pretty and amazing. Thanks for the tour.
Those wentletraps are hard to find but they're out there! I hope you find yours soon!
I love watching your videos each week. My bestie and I are going down to Southwest FL next week and can’t wait to find all the goodies!! Crossing my fingers that we will have great luck like you do! ❤️
Thank you for watching and I am sending you good shelling luck!! I hope you find everything you're looking for!
Another wonderful day with you at the beach. One day I hope to be there and finding my own treasures. Until then I will rely on you!!!
What a great, fun walk! That haul was amazing. I love Captive!!! 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚
Thank you! 🤗
I had missed this one so Im happy to get to see this very nice haul
That orange turbine was amazing 🤩
Thanks for another great video. Guess what I found today? My Husband and I drove over to Pass-a-Grille Beach and found our first Horse Conch! Yay!🙂 Now to get it clean.
That's awesome - congratulations! There's just something about finding those treasures that can't be beat!
I enjoy your videos so much and I’m learning lots thank you😘
Those orange turbans are gorgeous! 😍
Loved the color of that frond oyster. I’m sending word to the waves to bring your junonia to find you! 😊
Thank you! I've found pieces of J but I'm still waiting to find a whole one. Something else to look forward to!
@@SWFBeachLife that’s right! It will come when you least expect it.
Thank you for the beach time! I look forward to Sunday nights to get to check out the beach with you! I’m headed there in May and can’t wait. You are truly blessed to be there all the time.
I really am. I always wondered what it was like to live in vacation-land and now I know. It's pretty awesome.
Maybe my favorite of all your videos! The variety! The colors and patterns! Especially ❤️ the bittersweets and the two 3-tone red/orange/yellow top shells! Really just everything❣️ Thanks for another little respite from all the darkness of these days. Really appreciate you❣️☺️❤️
And I appreciate YOU taking the time to watch and leaving such a sweet comment. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Thank you Sharmon! I needed a good walk on the beach! 🌴😎❤
By the rocks, a lady had a scooper and she continued to scoop and put piles of shells on the beach and told us we could go thru them and keep what we found. Lots of wonderful shells that day!
Nice walk and fun shells!!!
I got a few bittersweets on one of my first shelling excursions on keywaydin island. Didn't know but weeks later I found out I had been out there shortly after a storm
Those are great finds for down here! I've only found a few and only on Sanibel. Congrats on your neat finds!
You had a super haul!!! I love spending time with u on beach walk Sunday !!💕💕🧜♀️
I love the kitten paws when I first saw them in Naples Fla.yrs ago. They are so cute!! and maybe I' m biased having 4 cats😉
That piece of Lion paw would make a cool pendant.
Minis are my favorite! More of a challenge to find!
And so much easier to store!!! 🐚
Thank you for the fantastic video. Enjoyed this immensely
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for another wonderful trip to the beach! I’ve had a fairly stressful week and this time spent with you has really relaxed me. Really cool finds! Even if they weren’t “biggies”, they were still beautiful!
I certainly hope this week goes better for you! I haven't started editing our adventure for this Sunday but it's a great adventure and I can't wait to share!
Loved this. I really like the bright orange horse conch and nutmeg. I want to find an apple murex one day. I have only been shelling a few times.
What a nice morning walk!!! And some gorgeous shells...
WE ARE A L W A Y S READY FOR SHELL ADVENTURES !!!! YES AND AMEN!
Today, I got to watch 2 of your videos! Hurray for me!! ❤️🐚
☺️❤️
I have one flat scallop that I found on Ft. Meyers beach! I also found a lions paw which is truly a treasure! Hubby and I have a time share ; Tropical Sands Resort, and I know our beaches well! Treasures are found if one looks for them!
A Lion's Paw on FMB is pretty spectacular - congrats! And I know that stretch of the beach probably the best out of all of them. I love that beach!
Oh that beachy sky in the start of this video was heavenly 💕 I love the soft sounds of the ocean I can hear even when your talking to us and I miss soooo seeing the beach so much. I promise soon sis I’ll be emailing you to get a few shells to add to to my shell box. Most of the shells I I have are clam shells and are the same exact kind and white but different sizes except for some that a friend had got me when she went to Mexico. I dream to have some of the unique shells you have. Take care my beachy friend and someday soon we will get to shell hunt together 🧜🏼♀️
You changed your profile pic - love it! And I've got plenty of shells for you so you just let me know what you want. It will truly be very exciting once you finally get to see this area. I can't wait for you to find some of your own treasures - there is just nothing like it. Until then, I'll bring you to the beach with me every week and show you all the fun stuff you might find when you're here!
Thank you for another lovely video! Looking forward to the next one 🥰
You are so welcome! Thank you for coming along with me!
Thanks for sharing your life on the beach with us. We live through you. Thanks again for a beautiful day at the beach. ❤️
Thank YOU for taking the time to come along with me! These beaches are too pretty to not share!
Awesome beach trip ! I do admit I have Not walked much of Captiva..need to go shelling there ! Thank you !!
Always happy you come along with me on my beach walks Nancy!
Hello Sharmon! Very much enjoyed your video and yes I will say it again that I enjoy being a Patreon. Wow so incredible to find those bittersweet clams! I hope if I can get to Turner Beach I can also find a small orange scallop shell and a horse conch like you did. Those are shells I definitely want to find! Hope to see Captiva soon. Thank you also for the most soothing beach time. I just imagine myself there watching the dolphins. Very grateful for that.. Best regards!
Thank you Karen!! 🙏🏼 I hope you do get to see Captiva and you get those shells you're looking for! 🐚❤️
Another great video!! I look forward to them every Sunday!! I think my favorite shell from this video is that really big Auger!! I’ve never seen one that big! Great find! Watching this video makes me even more excited for our family vacation this year!! Finally heading to SWFL!! 🐚🐚
Well I hope you have a fantastic time planning your adventure and I hope you find lots of great souvenirs to bring home! 🐚🐚
Thank you for taking us along with you; you are very lucky to live where you do; one day for me:)
I sooo look forward to each of your videos!! It’s my happy place!! Have a stressful day? Pop on one of your videos and my stress level takes a nose dive back to calm and happy!! Thank You, for each and every video!!
What a wonderful thing to hear! I'm so glad I can get you to your happy place whenever you want! 🌴🌊🐚
Oh what a wonderful video for my birthday! It feels like a present you made for me, even though I know you make videos every week haha 😅 I just wanted to thank you for spending so much time on making these videos for us. I've learned so much from you and every video always makes me go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole to learn even more and it just brings me so much joy every week. I couldn't thank you enough! The only downside was that I usually watch your videos with my mother, but I've gotten her so addicted to them she watched it while I was at work. 😂
LOL! I'm sorry you might have lost your watching buddy but I'm glad to have gained another beach friend! Oh the things that the beach can teach us! I go down those rabbit holes too all the time and I am continually amazed at how much there is to learn. Thank you so much for coming along with me on my beach walks and a very happy belated birthday to you Pisces!
Just so you know if you don’t-the parking ticket is $77!!! We were there a few weeks ago, the time ran out and by the time we got back to the car…ticket!!! lol but I found so many different shells, the ticket was worth it!!! Lol
Holy smokes! I'm glad I packed up and moved to where I wouldn't get a ticket. If there were shells all over the place I might have taken my chances but I think I chose wisely. Thank you for coming along!
