The 10,000 Islands Florida is a series of islands in Southwest Florida which is a popular place to look for sea shells.
I took my trip with floridaadventuresandrentals.com/ and they were VERY reasonably prices. Check out my first video for all the details!

Hi my beach friend, That shell haul is A-MA-ZING!!❤ Thank you Kice island for being so good. Girl, you had more shells than in the last few weeks. I'm so happy for you! Glad that your husband was able to repair the scoop. It's such a wonderful piece of equipment. I'm very curious what Sanibel has brought you. To bad that I have to wait a week before I know how you did there. But we'll manage. 🤪 Wishing you a wonderful week! Big big and lots of love xoxo❤, Ilona

THANK YOU SWF BEACH LIFE!! Your videos are the reason I contacted Marco Island Boat Tours. I took 2 tours. One last Saturday and yesterday on Monday. The 10,000 Islands are GORGEOUS! The shelling is AMAZING!! I seriously can not believe all the shells I got! I will need a suitcase just for my shells to get home. Sooooo many Florida Fighting Conchs, Tulips, Lightening Welks, Scallops, Nutmegs, Jewel Boxes, Apple Murex, and more. I was shocked by all the treasures on these islands. My sister loves shelling too. She came from out of state just to experience this. I never would have known about these tours if you hadn't shared them in your vlogs. Yes, wear water shoes. I did and so grateful I did. I can't say enough about these tours. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I wish I could share pictures here of all my Florida shells. If any of you get the chance to take one of these tours, do it. You will be glad you did! 😊

All those treasures… I had to come back & watch this again. It’s so bittersweet as I get thrilled that I can be there with you virtually & get to look out for the shells you miss & enjoy the ones you find. Then, I put the phone down & realize I’m still here in Kentucky. Oh! One more thing, please tell me where I can find your watch band? I’ve admired it for so long now & I just hope it’s still available wherever you got it. It’s just so lovely.
@SWFBeachLife

I can't believe how well that band has held up! I got it for my birthday a few years ago and it's still going strong. It's a band for a FitBit and here is a link to get it on Amazon: amzn.to/3n71Rn0 I like tracking my activity and sleep and you only need to charge it like once a week so it's great for me. I've killed the light and the notifications don't always work but I'm going to wear it until I totally kill it!

What a haul you had! You definitely know it's a good day when you have to split into two videos! The gaudy nautica at 4:30 is interesting since it only has the background coloring. It's lost it's patterns and only has the background tinge to it. I'm pretty sure that's natural, and it seems to be prevalent in the 10,000 islands area but no where else.

Kice was amazing! I couldn't believe how many great shells I found in just a few hours. I've found maybe one or two other gaudy's with that color and I thought it was weird, but it keeps things interesting in trying to figure out what all these shells are. Hope you had a great summer!

How beautiful! We were in Sanibel Island 🏝 last week. Unfortunately the shelling wasn't great yet I wasn't too disappointed because I was having back pain issues 😞 😔. Spent alot of my time on the lanai listening to the ocean 💖 .My family has been visiting the Island 🏝 every year since they built the causeway so I have a collection of beautiful shells 🐚 😍. Need to visit this Island next time

Whoa - you got to see the old causeway! The currently one was built I believe in the 70's. The island must have been incredible back then. But I feel like they do a great job keeping the island lush and not all built up. It truly is a magical place! I'm sorry you had back issues but glad you got your dose of vitamin sea 🌴🌊🐚❤️

I am so happy you found so many shells on Kice this time! It made me want to go back so badly! I was a little disappointed that when you went on your kayak trip you didn’t find so much so glad this was better. Even though you didn’t mention it there looks like there were tons of fighting conchs there too. So different than Sanibel where you are lucky when you find a tulip, lace murex or fighting conch. You found an unbelievable amount of tulips and gaudies!! We found a lot of minis there too. My daughter fills up a whole acrylic bead box with them. I will be looking forward to you next trip to Sanibel.

Now that's a fantastic idea! One of those small boxes for the tinies. I just put all of mine together in a bowl but should I want to start organizing any, I'm definitely getting one of those boxes! I actually have my "Special" shells in one - never thought to put tinies in there!

Wow, oh WOW! That was amazing! Thank you for your awesome videos. I just discovered you this weekend and I’ve spent ALL days watching one right after the other. Thanks for showing your scooper and glad it’s repairable and also for the tips on what to take. Do you already have a video of what your fragile box looks like and how you carry your shells. What kind of cart do you take for all of your things?
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 2 года назад
I have shown my trusty shell bag in a previous video, along with the little plastic box I carry my small or delicate shells in: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-McjkI-8etZ4.html And because I usually walk a lot I don't bother with a cart. I carry everything I need in my backpack and then I have my shell bag slung over my shoulder. I've got it down to pretty much a science at this point!

I love your videos so much! Thank you for sharing these trips. I’ve learned a lot. 😊 Just one request, if you’re takin’ ‘em… could you possibly show and identify more types of shells, even if they are not ones that you want to take home? I would love to learn about more types and I’m stuck up here in New England, so folks like you are my teachers! Thanks and have a good week! 🙏🏻👍🏻💛

When I'm not finding too many "good" shells that is exactly what I do. I start looking around for something else to talk about. I talked about some common shells a few videos back (Fort Myers Beach) but if I'm having a "slow" day I'll start looking for some of the shells that I don't normally collect!
