- There's nothing else like a shelling experience in the Caribbean!
In 2021, I traveled to Puerto Rico to find shells at some beautiful, and remote locations. This piece is the final episode from that trip...of course, I saved the best for last!

Oh my gosh I was dying when you left the helmets behind and the cowries!!! Such beauties..the Caribbean vase was spectacular! Thank you for taking us!!!🎉
I actually collected quite a few Helmets during the first couple days of this trip, lol. The cowries were a total surprise as I stumbled upon a honey hole - love honey holes!
Thanks for watching, and coming along!
Yes you should have kept the shell.
Stunnnnnning ❤😊
Ty for taking me along. Never been to that island. ❤
Thank you for coming along!
Outstanding shells! My favorite: the Wentletrap (it's the biggest one I've ever seen), and the Carribean Vase. Thanks for taking us along! 🐚 😎
Thanks For such a great video!! So beautiful there!!
I enjoyed you video!! Shells where so beautiful!!
I would be sitting there half the day collecting the minis. Thanks Brian. Those cowries, cones, limpets, vase, OH Myyyyy. Jackpot.
I agree! If it wasn't so hot and humid there, I totally would have sat and sorted through for mini's... it's always so enjoyable to do this!
Thanks for watching!
Whoa! That Caribbean Vase is gorgeous! What a beautiful beach and spectacular finds! Thanks for a lovely, peaceful video 😊
Thank you so much for watching! 🐚
Wowza! Those cowries and cones were amazing. Sure wish I was following you to pick up the helmet shells you left behind!
Hello, thank you so much for coming along on the adventure!
Another amazing video. We're totally jealous of your international adventures! Thanks a million for bringing such great shelling content to TH-cam and sharing such great shelling adventures in different countries. You found some amazing shells and we're even more motivated now to get back to the Caribbean. Such great cones, cowries, and helmet finds. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you so much! This was filmed a couple of years ago, but I am always figuring out new places that I can get to, to shell and film - it's so cathartic!
Appreciate your viewership!
Thank you for taking only what you need and enjoy. Leaving some for other lucky shell seekers.
Beautiful ❤️
Always love seeing your shells. Thanks for the trip.
Thank you so much for watching!
A carribean vase?! Have never seen or heard of them but...WOW!...so classy!!! Thanx for all the info and as it rains outside, I will say Thanx for letting me tag along and you look great in 4K.....!!!!
I am so glad I was able to introduce you to a new shell, friend!
Thanks for coming along as always, and in 4K! 🤣💙
Thank you so much for sharing!
I know I’d be like, “I don’t NEED all these cowries, but I’ll take them all, if that’s ok!”
Cool Adventure!!
Thanks so much for watching, friend!
Ahhhhh! Great day, Bryan! Holy cowRIES day and that vase!!!!!
Thanks shell frannnd!
Oh man! This one is so worth rewatching! You show such restrajnt from keeping, lol! I would totally fail at it. Thankyou❣❣❣❣
I couldn’t have left any behind. Sooo pretty!!
Thaks as always for your wonderful videos. It's so great that you take us places we will never get to. And great finds!
You are welcome to come along any time, friend! Thanks for watching!
Enjoy all of your videos especially since you leave the ocean waves for us to enjoy. I saw so many shells that I’d love to find, hold & bring home. What joy it would be to be able to sit & look for the minis & walk the beach looking for shells. Living in North TX/DFW area I don’t get a chance to go to a beach. Your videos take me there and I appreciate you and all you do.
My content will always be here for any who searches for peace through a beach experience 💙
Thank you for watching, and I look forward to seeing you on the next one!
You found some amazing shells and you left some amazing shells. It makes sense when you have already picked up so many. Thank you so much for sharing these great shelling videos. Have a great day.
Thank you so much for watching the content, shell friend!
Thanks for another great video Brian. That Carribean Vase was awesome. I could stay in those rocks for hours. Beautiful cones and I just love all Limpets and coral! You make such calming videos in the most beautiful places. Thanks for taking us on your adventures!
I appreciate your great feedback. The Vase made my day, for sure!
Thanks as always, for watching!
Beautiful shells. Loved watching you hunt. 🐳
Thanks for watching this content!
Beautiful finds
Thanks for watching!
That mystery shell did indeed look like a giant apple murex! What an experience. I've yet to find my first cowrie or a mouse cone for that matter. That Caribbean vase was an awesome score! Fabulous video as always! 🐚🐚
The Apple Murex shells get SO big in the Caribbean. We are all waiting for your shelling trip to one of these places... it will be so EPIC! 💙
Thank you for watching, Friend!
Great shells!! Where in Puerto Rico were you? Also, where did you get your Shell bag? I love it! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!!❤
Hello, this is Yabucoa, in SE PR! The shelling bag was gifted to me by one of my friends - the maker is SunSport Canvas!
Thanks for watching

How many wonderful shells 🐚 and beautiful corals 🪸 .
Thank you so much for watching! 🐚
@@solaceinshelling6552 You're welcome.
I love all of the cool shells. Do you know much about Coral? Maybe next time you could include a few different coral pieces even if you don't keep them :)
thanks!
I always appreciate cool coral finds on the beach, but I must admit, I am not versed in their identifications, lol.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
Oh wow, so very good! I don’t have the same willpower to leave shells back that you do. If they aren’t broken, I would collect them all!
I definitely ended up taking quite a few home, but only ones I absolutely loved. I agree, it's difficult to have restraint!
Thanks for watching!
Where is that beach area in P.R.? East or west? My family lives there. You found wonderful things! I love to watch your videos, so relaxing!❤😊
This is SE PR, Yabucoa region
Thanks for watching!
Hi Bryan. I loved your video. Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey with you. Your mystery shell was beautiful The mouse cones are great. Does the captain cone snails sting ?
Hello! All Cone snails are capable of inflicting a sting, but Atlantic Cones aren't considered deadly like some Pacific Cone species are.
Thanks for watching!
Brian, what awesome shells!! I want to put this on my bucket list but I didn’t catch the name of the beach, if you could tell me please. Beautiful video! They keep getting better and better!
Hello! This was Yabucoa, in south east Puerto Rico!
Thanks for watching!
Lovely shells. What are those stones with the red spots on them? I also loved all the pieces of corral. 🐌🐚🐕🥰
I think these red spots are called Foraminifera, and they attach to molluscs!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing shells. But do you ever run into problems at customs in carrying them across borders?
What great finds. I saw a gastropod a few times, white shaped similar to the star shell but had a brown stripe around the center bottom like a racing stripe (9:28). What is it? I only saw it upside down.
Hello friend! This shell is actually a land snail, and there were tons of them - I am not sure of the exact name.
Thanks for watching!
Wow…Great shells. I would have a hard time leaving any of those shells behind? What was the name of the beach again?
Hello, this is Yabucoa in SE Puerto Rico!
Thank you so much for watching the content!
🐚
2:33 beautiful limpit center screen. How u miss it. Lol
What beach is this ? PUNTA ? I will be in PR next week...looking for shelling spots .
This is Yabucoa, in SE Puerto Rico! Hope you were able to find some great shells on your trip!
Thanks for watching!
How do you get your shells home from these far away places?
I usually bring small tupperware containers(or something similar), and will bury these in the middle of my suitcase. Most often, everything makes it home in one piece!
Thanks for watching!
hi..are you able to show the names of shells on the video please
Look up tritons.
How hard is it to bring back the shells?
Hi friend! I can only speak to my experience, but I did not have an issue taking a few shells home carefully packed in my checked luggage!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for letting me know ill be sure to pack them carefully.
That's an apple murex
This is what I thought as well - they appear to grow quite large in the Caribbean!
Btw. Looked like a Triton if that’s how you spell it.
This mystery shell does resemble a Triton, though I think it actually may be a worn Apple Murex. In the Caribbean, Apple Murex shells can get much larger than they do in Florida.
Thanks so much for watching!

Idk if you’d like to try cleaning some of those shells with acid, but here’s a video with how to do that and it takes off some of the calcification and the colors come through beautifully. I thought I’d share in case you’re interested. You scored some gorgeous shells! 😊
I love her channel - nice information around the muriatic process.
I have some recent content, where I put some of my best Caribbean specimens through the acid process, and they came out beautiful!
Thanks for watching!
