Sanibel's Storm Of Beach Bling covers the shores with starfish, seashells, sea urchins and masses of mollusks. Read the rest of the story on www.iloveshelling.com/blog/
I never thought I would see this beach on TH-cam but from personal experience this is the only beach that never runs out of shells. It’s an absolute gold mine!!! People bring big bags and take as many as possible. I have my own collection. After a storm is the perfect time to go!
I used to go to Sanibel every Spring with my family, abd it started a life long love of shells. It has been many years, and I lived for 15 years in Virginia Beach. No contest, shell-wise. Sanibel wins, hands down. But, you hit a treasure trove after the storms. I'm happy to be able to "walk" on the beach with you via your video. Thank you.
They are perfectly fine when they're on the beach. When the tide is low like it was in this video, the animals suction themselves down to the sand as an anchor and as a way to trap water in until the tide returns and they can release. They're perfectly safe on shore. The only time it's better to put them back into the ocean by hand is if they are flipped over or noticeably dried out and/or in distress.
Been frequenting Sanibel for over a decade and I just can't wait to relocate there. It's a beautifully cared for place that many appreciative residents will fight pretty fiercely to continue to preserve. As will I. Oh yeah, and the shells are beautiful too. 😆 (red tide blooms, ugh, I'm not going there 😡🤬😡)
Thanks Pam For This Video,Love To Go Shelling, But Not Had The Chance For A Long Time Now,So Thank You,I Found You Through One Of My You Tube Friends That Was On Holiday And Was On The Same Trip As You,TFS Hugs Lynn :))X
I love seashells, and I went to Sanibel last year after seeing your vids, but I didn't see anything nearly like this, I went home with a couple arcs and was very disappointed :( but ill come back again over Spring Break with high hopes! :D
I am 40 years old I have probably seen the beach 5xs in my life (i live in TN about 5 hours from Myrtle) I have seen Del Ray beach in Boca Raton FL Myrtle Beach & Kensington beach in NJ Love everything beachy & shells (my whole bathroom is Beachy) Hubby & I are waiting on our 16yr old to turn 18 in Feb of 2022 & I we are BEACH bound!!!!!
I am so very glad that you put the live snails in their shells back into the ocean instead of taking them and ( once cleaned sold them to tourists ) like myself i catch and release and only keep what I intend to eat, like yourself I'm VERY environmentally concerned about our surroundings and the toll us humans do because of poor to no proper education, keep up the good work of showing us what to do and not....big hugs from hazel park Michigan!!!
I just got back from Sanibel and nothing like this! this must be a certain time of year to see all of this. We thought we were gonna get good shells. NOTHING !But loved the Island!
My wife and I havent seen the island for 8 years. We used to vaca each year there. Hope to come in 2018. We liked the Snook motel , it changed names, I know.Neat how the weather and cycles of the sea affect the beach. I met Kathy Oda Mazzota on Captiva years back at their gallery. I read novels about Doc Ford thanks to Randy. Hope all have done ok this past hurricane.
Those are fantastic ! We just arrived yesterday, could you tell us the beach or part of the island where you found the sea stars, sea urchins, and the large whelming shell? If so, we'll head out and start searching.

Absolutely, amazing, I have some shells, that I LOVE. And it really stands out to me , knowing that I am not the only one who else loves sea shells!
Wow! I'm so jealous! So glad that you are so conscientious with the live ones.

StarCossedWarrior Esyale Hi is that place so far of Tampa. I live in Tampa . But I don't know where this place. Can you ask me please. Thanks
Thank you for putting them back. My heart hurts to see all the dead sea creatures. Please put as many live creature back as possible....
Janette Klein YES same.

It’s illegal to take live shells. Thank goodness! not that it stops everyone but most that go to Sanibel have respect.
Melissa Deaton I mean the only live shells are the conch shells
Wow me to i like shelling
I’m visiting Sanibel and I love the little shells. They’re so colorful and I am going to make jewelry with them.
Been frequenting Sanibel for over a decade and I just can't wait to relocate there. It's a beautifully cared for place that many appreciative residents will fight pretty fiercely to continue to preserve. As will I.
Oh yeah, and the shells are beautiful too. 😆
(red tide blooms, ugh, I'm not going there 😡🤬😡)

Charlotte Collins neither DOES THE mediterranean
Neither where I live
The Gulf coast has tamer waters (during calm weather) but Sanibel is special for its shells 🐚
