Hunting shells at low tide, especially on Kice Island means shells and beach treasures. I even managed to find yet another bucket list shell. Kice never, ever disappoints!

There is actually a "shell camp" they have down there in the early Spring where you can camp out for a few days. It's quite pricey so I'll probably stick to my day trips ❤️

I love your low cal Buttercup Lucine or Anodontia alba. I will now think of light color or washed our shells as diet shells and think of you! Hahaha! I so wish we had a larger selection of shells, diet or full calorie shells, here on the shores of Lake Erie. We do have some a good selection and amount of beach glass which many people collect. Some folks make beautiful jewelry out of them. I personally like to collect the beautiful Mother-of-Pearl looking pieces from the inside of the clam shells. Thank you once again for share your time on the island with us.

Someone sent me a photo of a piece of oyster with a pearl "glued" onto it. It was fascinating! I think the beach glass or even really smooth rocks would be neat to collect. It's the hunt that's so fun ☺️ Thank you so much for watching and I hope you find some full-calorie goodies soon!!

Glass can actually be beneficial to sea critters. The salt water dissolves the glass and releases minerals that are essential for the microscopic life in the sand, which helps feed other creatures higher up in the food chain.

@@SWFBeachLife Glass Beach in California is full of life thanks to the glass that's been dumped there for decades. You can't collect any, though; it's against the law. However, I've gone to San Juan Island almost every year since 1996. In the past 7 years, I've been bringing broken glass & pottery with me, washed and ready for the ocean to do its work. That way one day, some lucky person will find a lovely piece of polished treasure for them to take home. The owners of the cabin we stay at brings marbles for the same reason. Now that I know how beneficial glass is to ocean life, it's a double win.

What is it?" Show me! " Your love of shells comes through loud and clear. Just a thought - Wouldn't it be great if your patreons and viewers could pitch in to help set up a SWF Beach Shelling Weekend. I know it would be a lot of work - I am retired and would be the first to volunteer. With the Internet it doesn't matter that I am in Canada. I read all the comments each week and feel a bond with your responders. For me there's nothing like sharing a passion. Your virtual shelling buddy.

We have turned it into a friendly competition. We booked Hemingway Water Shuttle, one that was recommended by you, and they are absolutely amazing. Very friendly family. We also did kayaking to Kice and it was our first time kayaking, it wasn’t the easiest but boy were we glad we did it. We found so many Murex it was crazy!

What a bummer that that white FFC wasn't an albino. But it's still stunning 😍. Are you at any time trying to go snorkeling again? Or is that impossible? As always, thank you so much for taking us with you on your beach walks! It's so highly appreciated! I'm enjoying every second of it, while laying cozy under my Florida beach duvet. Have a fantastic week! Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤️, Ilona

Hello beach-duvet, Netherlands Beach Friend (that was a mouthful!) Kice is always so good to me. It's so much work getting out there, but it's so worth it! And I actually wanted to give snorkeling a try earlier this week but the water was too cloudy so I walked and scooped instead. I have my mask on the ready and I do hope to try snorkeling - I just have to find the right conditions. And it's getting rainy here in the evening/afternoons so that's making trying to hit low tide a bit more tricky too ☺️ I hope everything is good by you and all the news you've been getting has been positive ❤️❤️❤️

That golden olive was awesome! And all those gaudy's were 10/10. The mystery white shell does look a lot like a Sanibel Turrid, but it seems slightly weird to me. Then again, I can't think of anything else it could be, so I guess it's just an awesome white (albino?) color form. That light FFC I think could be considered an albino, but I guess it just depends what you classify albino as. Great walk as always :)

I'm still hunting for that albino olive too. I love seeing the "weirdo" shells since there are so many of the "normal" ones ☺️ After seeing your last video I want to go to the Carolina's to see what I can find!

Hi Sharmon! YAY , another Kice trip. You know it's my favorite. I so can't wait to be there again. Someone else asked and I was wondering too, how are the no see ums and other biting insects there this time of year. I come in January, the best shells ever and no bugs! Enjoyed this video as always! Have a shelltastic week!
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 2 года назад
OMG Kice in January is shellers heaven! The bugs are normally not bad as long as there is a little breeze. No breeze means annoying bugs but it really only happens once in a while. They didn't bother me this trip but I will definitely pack bug spray for my next trip there just in case!

I don't live near or visit the beaches. So I purchased crushed oyster shells, for plants to get calcium. That's why I inquired about all the shells on the beach. I now know not to take home live ones. Only did when I was a young kid.

I think most people just don't know about the sea snails and that live creatures actually make them. I knew I didn't really think about it until I started visiting the beach on a regular basis. There is so much to learn!

I discovered your channel last fall when I was in hospital (103 days). What joy to travel with you on your shelling journeys! What do you do with all the shells? Do you have an Etsy shop? My shelling days are past tense (bed bound now), but would love to get a few of the smaller shells just to hold and enjoy! Thank you for the beach time as I’ve learn so much and find it very relaxing. 🐚💜🐚

Well I'm sure glad you are choosing to come to the beach with me and you found my channel. You are exactly the type of person I think about and go out and share my walks with. I know not everyone is as lucky as I am to live here! As far as what I do with my shells, mostly I keep them in glass jars, vases and lanterns. I showed my collection in a past video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Afy0jl0smpE.html Then, I put some shells to the side to sell and others to do projects with. I've managed to complete 2 projects thus far. A shell mirror: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mf5SVm8m5n8.html And a shell photo frame: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h9UIvqlOzgM.html I have lots of ideas I just need to find more time! I do sell my shells! I do it through email so shoot me an email at swfbeachlife@gmail.com and I can give you the details. I would love for you to have a couple of my shells to hold onto as you're visiting the beach with me!

@SWFBeachLife 2 года назад
There are quite a few. If you like the kayaking experience, I would recommend SWFL Shell Guide (www.swflshellguide.com). If you would prefer to just take a boat there, I would reach out to Reel Kind (www.reelkind.com). Each tour will take you to where the good stuff is!

Have you ever considered collecting a box of shells for fans to purchase. I live in Montana and am totally wishing for the worm critter creations and prices of different worm snails and reef bits. I make pine needles baskets from our ponderosa pines here and would love to put some of those things into my baskets. I like the shells for sure we do t have any here lol but I really am intrigued by the unique shaped non traditional shell things too

I went through quite a process trying to figure out how to sell shells. I tried eBay (eh), I set up a store on my website (way too time intensive) so now I do sell shells, but I just do each order custom through email. I'd be happy to give you more details! Shoot me an email at swfbeachlife@gmail.com and I will give you the info.

If you are only getting one, it's Florida's Living Beaches:amzn.to/3aqkmO0 It's a FANTASTIC resource for all things beach here in Florida. Another book that's been helpful is this one: amzn.to/3G8ngWo I find the books that concentrate on the shells in a particular area are more helpful than random books on shells. I hope these help!

The no seem ums are only really miserable if there is little to no wind and for the most part I've been really lucky with the bugs. There is a spray I have that kind of seems to work (when I remember to use it!) but it's currently unavailable on Amazon. Perhaps you can find it at another retailer: www.amazon.com/no-no-see-um-natural-insect-repellent/dp/b00co6sf78
