Shelling on Sanibel Island. Low tide treasures on an early morning beach walk. 

Definitely need a cart, there was soooo much to bring home. I think I would have collected every shell on the beach. Looked so peaceful as well. Stay safe x

I love your videos so much. It’s so peaceful and relaxing to watch. I bought a Drill press yesterday. So it will make it easier to drill holes in the shells I find for wind chime I make. Thanks so much for a wonderful walk on the beach. ❤️❤️❤️

I need to win the lottery so I can move closer to the beach😜

Love learning the names of the shells and the difference. Thanks so much.

When we went to Sanibel this past July I had much better luck on Blind Pass than anywhere else. Murexes, whelks, and cones galore there. Loved it!!! I look forward to your videos every weekend because it takes me back to paradise if only for 30 minutes hahaha. Thx for the videos and much love from Lexington Ky.

I silently screamed when you put back that Calico with the orange on it! Grab the Calicos, I'll buy them!!

Psyched

I always love to go with you on the beach walk, naturely with my eyes. A real walk would be better, but till relocated it will take few month more...in my ❤ I am always with you on the beach, fun we have both...with all other that look your wonderful videos..❤🙏👍🥰😃😀🖐🌹🍀

Wow, looking forward to next weeks video and the 100 chestnut turbans. It was a beautiful shell haul this week. Lots of very pretty scallops. Loved the cut ribbed arc and the ponderous arcs and turkey wing shell you found.

Beautiful day for you. How are the temps that early in the morning? Thanks so much for beach time. I close my eyes and listen…..

I love scallops, they come in so many different colors

Just spent two weeks there. Paradise!!!

Thanks for taking me along again this week!

Love the sharp edge drill. Thanks

Thank you very much for the wonderful beach walk I enjoyed doing it with ya

Thank you for another great shelling video!

The white shells with black on them, does the black come off when you clean them. Than you

Thank you and your supporters for sharing your beach walk. I LOVE beach time! If you hear noise in the background, it is me screaming, "Grab that one, no no, to the right, go up alittle, to the right"!

Wow... Listening to the waves takes me back to my younger years. I would go with my grandmother and her friends from early 70s.That was my all time favorite vacation for many reasons.. We shared the love of shelling on Sanibel & Captive for 21 yrs Its unfortunately been many years since I've done the Sanibel stoop. I was paralyzed in a wreck 24 yrs ago, but I do hold out hope that one day Ill have a way to stroll those beautiful beaches. Till then, Ill enjoy your videos. Thank You!!! Oh yes... As to Blind Pass... I remember way back to when sand Closed off the water under the bridge. Considering we also fished there we sure were happy when they dredged it. Happy Shelling!!!!

So glad you shared the sharp-ribbed drill. I found one a while back and couldn't identify it. It's colors are more grey and white. Thanks again for the walk and info..

I really love your videos. After a really stressful day, I find a new video from you and I relax. Thank you

Beautiful morning, beach and shells. Wowsers, I would LOVE to live down there in FL. I'm looking to get out of CA! No worries, my husband & I would fit right in! Love the beaches ⛱️ Thanks for taking us along, Sharmon 😎

"Silly, early o'clock" ... sounds like shell time to me! 😃

I love the littles!!

I will be there over thanksgiving week. I’m so excited! Hoping to find some great shells 😁

Such a pretty walk. Glad you found some keepers. Today I got the shells I won (for participating in the Beachcombing video) and they are so beautiful! Thank you! Have a great week. Until next Sunday... ❤🐚

I was at bowman’s shelling today for negative low tide! I wish it had been that calm!

Such a pretty day! I love hearing the waves during the "beach time" part of your video. This week I found a mostly-intact sand dollar on the beach in NJ. I generally find a handful each year and am amazed that they survive as well as they do.

Lol….silly early

As usual, another wonderful video. I have always had good luck at Ft meyers beach, but was wondering what is the absolute best month of the year to shell that area. I will be scheduling my vacations for the year, in the next two weeks and would like to schedule Ft Myers for the best possible week. And hoping to cross paths with you at some point. I believe I passed you when I was there this past april. God bless, and happy shelling!

Heading to Sanibel 12th-16th!

Love Sanibel. We use to spend many vacations every Summer there. It’s worth visiting

Can you trade shells? To other people Ahahahahahah

Not a bad morning walk! Thank you for letting us tag along.

What a week I've had, it felt like it had been weeks since I'd seen a beach video. Finally! Thanks

Very beautiful early morning ! Nice day at the beach! Thanks again for taking us along !

Love your videos. I want to go to Sanibel so badly! Thanks for sharing!

Oh and SWF how do bay scallops get to that beach it is not a bay PS you should try going to saint joeseph bay.

We just love your walks. Your top of the lineup for Sunday night shows! 🐚

Great descriptions of the scallops!😊 Speaking of cross-barred Venus shells, we had a bunch of live ones on the beach this past week and they were beautiful! I'll have to send you a picture I took... LOVE those pretty rough scallops!! I usually have to go to Lido for those. The storm a week ago last Thursday brought tons of gac's in at Honeymoon. You could have carried them out in buckets! I really like the little brown-striped crown conchs too. Yes! Love those little drills! We get some really huge cut-ribbed arcs on Honeymoon. I kinda like them too. How long ago did you video this? I'm waiting for a post-storm one!😊 Thanks, Sharmon! xxoo

Love all the shells you found . Which you could send me one of all color's of the scallops both kind

I also have 2 calico scallops but white and brownish-red

The Shells are beautefull How Many keper is that Yoo kepper

Just beautiful!!!

always amazed at the end when you show what you all found, so satisfying :)

Down in FM for the winter at our new “snowbird” house! Weather is perfect. Went to Wiggins Pass and found a variety of shells, including my first double Sunray Venus, a True Tulip, and lots of Florida fighting conchs. The best part was the numerous LIVE conchs, olives and a Venus sunray! It was low tide so everything I found was in the shallows. It’s great to be back at the beach, especially with my new knowledge from your videos. Thanks!

This is what I call "Oh, God o'clock, Sharmon. I'm not even sure that shelling would get me up. Brave woman are you! Thought I'd check in. Still in a holding pattern here. Testing next Friday, surgeon's office visit a week later. Surgery should follow shortly thereafter. I'm at the point where I just want to be done with it. So I decided to spend some time with you to take my mind off it all. I am saving my new shell books for my quiet time that I know will be imposed upon me. They are amazing! If I can't get to the beach, at least I can study about shells. I just LOVE the calico scallops! Like people, all the same, all different and all so beautiful! The colors are so pretty and I really like the black ones! They are so richly colored! In my dearest dreams, I win some of your shells and there are lots of bay scallops and calico scallops. When I lived on Santa Rosa Island, you could almost always see people wading around in the shallows of the Sound or in Pensacola Bay. They'd have a little boat-shaped wading pool or even a galvanized metal tub floating alongside them, tethered to their waist by a line. (That's a rope, for you landlubbers!) 😊 These folks were feeling with their bare feet for live calico or bay scallops. I don't know if they were planning to eat them or if they were going to sell them. I never thought to ask. Perhaps, with pollution a growing problem, this type of "fishing" is not practiced any more or if you've seen it down there in SW FL. I guess it's just part of living beside the door of the sea. Interesting? That pinkish, peachy Florida Fighting Conch is simply gorgeous! I don't think there's such a thing as a bad shelling day. I can honestly say that because I was out at the beach in 1986 when Hurricane Juan (a rained-out storm with nothing but strong wind) came ashore at Pensacola Beach. At one point, I was literally crawling and dragging my shell bag, but I found some great shells! I only stayed out for about an hour before taking shelter behind a bath building to examine my shells. I sat there for a while until the eye came over, then I went on home. (We island dwellers didn't have to evacuate because the storm made landfall completely dry). "Just a lot of blow," one old-timer said. This was a great morning beach walk! So many interesting things to see! It was a shame about the sea star. Hope that calico crab wasn't on some bird's menu for lunch! Thanks so much for taking me along, Sharmon. I'll see you on Sunday! Keep on shelling!

We were at Bowmans on Sanibel the last two weeks of October. 2-4 ft waves and hardly any shells to be found. Maybe another time. More successful at Marco Island Tigertail Beach. Lots of sand dollars and nice conch and smaller shells. My friend found a beat up but beautiful horse conch (I think). I mean…not to say no shells. Plenty of arcs, slippers, jungles, scallops. Just no olives or anything really special.

Thank you so much, I just found your channel! My family and I are from Wisconsin and we visited Sanibel for the first time in June 2021 and we fell in love. We found many shells and I have learned so much from your videos about identifying them. Keep up the awesome work!

My granddaughters are coming to Boynton. I asked them to look for some shells and Florida sand. I have somehow started collecting sand from different beaches. I have oregon, Puerto Rico, Virginia, I will have to get some from Florida also. My daughter travels.

Always looove your shelling adventures!! I’m coming down in the beginning of March, and staying at Castaways in Blind Pass. How long did it take you to walk from Bowman’s Beach to Blind Pass?

Got back from our yearly Fort Myers vacation, a couple of weeks ago. We had awesome weather, and found some great shells. I would love to see how you display your collections, and you mention using some shells in projects....would also love to hear more about them.

Missed you!! As always I will watch now.. We had a crazy 🤪 Northeastern weekend here in Northeast Florida. Going to Matanzas Inlet to see 👀 what washed up here. Unfortunately, we usually get alot of live full conch shells..

Just left Sanibel. We stayed on the lighthouse end. Tons of live cockles, sea urchins, scallops, and starfish on the beach. Found some lovely shells that were unoccupied though. ☺️ I’m partial to the littles; I keep them in a jar on my desk.

Thank you so much for your jewelrybox❣️ I thought that shark eye was fantastic and thank you for telling the difference between the bay scallops and the calico scallops, really nice find you had to day 🤗👍🏻

Can’t believe I found one I hadn’t seen-fun walk! The small fish always make me leery because they’re probably trying to avoid predators, which can be innocuous or a little more worrisome. I’m also wondering if y’all deal with stingrays down there. Been tagged before while shelling on the SC coast.

Love collecting shells and shark teeth.

I loved our walk!! Thank you for showing the difference between the scallops…I’ve often wondered how you tell the difference. I can’t wait for next week’s walk! Have a great week 😊🐚

Absolutely beautiful! I am so jealous, love the ocean, but very landlocked in Wyoming.

I'm glad I found this video! We arrive on the island tomorrow and will be staying at Castaway Cottages! So I want to cover as much from Blind Pass to Bowman's as I can!

I always look forward for my Sunday evening video, I wait for when it’s time to go to bed to watch it it’s the last thing I see before I close my eyes thank you for another wonderful video until next time and you as well have a great week.😴🐚🐚🐚

I pick up garbage on the beach too.. Picking up garbage glass is a double edged sword. No more beach glass for anyone down the road. Lol

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💜💜

Whohoo! It's Sunday Night!

Those ruff scallops are gorgeous! If i remember correctly, that wooded area(Silver Key?) is where i found my first sea bean! I was so excited too! I always have luck at Turner and i can't wait to see the next beach walk and that chestnut turban haul!

Such a nice find, and day!! Thanks!!😎👍

I have always loved to collect shells from the beach just like you especially the Scallops.’ Do some shells come from different places in the 🌎 world . What do you do with these pretty shells at home.

Another great walk. I really appreciate how you are able to bring us along and the descriptions of the shells are amazing. I so wish I could get down in January or February and maybe bring my daughter down with me. We have such fun together. And my other wish is to hire you for a day or two. I think you make it so interesting. Thanks again for a wonderful time.🥰🌟

I’m headed for Sanibel in December. This was cool video to hone my sea shell hunting skills …

I love SWF they have taught me a lot like I thought crown conch was a Florida fighting conch.

The intro music makes me so happy 😊

When your half way over the causeway you know your headed to somewhere really special. Sanibel is the best!

Your videos play on repeat most nights here lol looking at this, I think my one mini was a sharp rib drill! Still confused about the other one lol

Sharp-rib drills are super cool. The contrast on the perfect specimens can be amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

It's morning the best time for shelling? What about evening low tide?

Thank you for our weekly beachy goodness Sharmon!!!

Watching this during me time 12am...love it!😁👍

I'm one of those weird ones that really like the ark shells because they aren't symmetrical. I love how they swish to the side.

Which shells have the most colorful shells, the bay scalloped or the calico scallop?

Live that sharp rib drill!

Thanks for telling the differences of the bay and calico scallops. Pretty scallops. Those starfishes are cute. Love the beach time moments. I think you did very well in finding some good shells. Looking forward to the next shell hunting adventure.🐚🌊

I never had a bucket list, but I do now: Go to Florida and go shelling on the beaches featured in your videos. I now know my favorite shell is called the Murex, thanks to you, but I am growing a fondness for the Florida Fighting Conch, the Tulip, and the Lightening Whelk. Will I still try to bring home the whole beach? Yes - yes I will 💖😁.

It’s defintely like hunting for treasure every day

Hello thanks for sharing your beach walks. Could you talk a bit more about your cold weather gear? What type of "scuba pants"material, shoes, etc. If you could suggest brands, sources? I am finding scuba pants appear to be a fashion option, not so practical, when I search for them! :)

kitten paw? cute!

What’s good haul!

Love the beach time!🌅

have you ever shelled at Melbourne, FL? I want to go there for college next year and I'll be 10 mins away! id just like to know if its good for shelling

Could you show us a project or two that you make with your shells?

So much fun! Hope I can find all the neat shells when I go there in January! Thanks for another awesome video!

Hi my beach friend, What a beautiful shells! Especially that sharp ribbed drill shell. Beautiful and cute at the same time. 😍 And all the colors of the Calico scallops continue to amaze me. Can totally understand that you didn't want to leave the beach, it's so gorgeous out there. Hope you have a wonderful week! Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤Ilona

Fun

Sanibel/Captiva is my heaven ❤️

Im so happy for my discovery about my natica Vitellus i was curious i wanted to find out more about my 10 naticas I then noticed my natica was part of the family nicknamed Moon snails! Yay! I always wanted a moon shell

Was this video from Sunday November 7 2021?
