Staying on Cayo Costa is an experience that I am so grateful I got to have. While living off-grid, we never felt as if we were missing out on anything! Wifi, TV, Hot tub, staying right on the water and being able to beachcomb Cayo Costa was simply a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But it doesn't to be!

You really tickled me with your comments describing the lightning whelks, the first one that was "very chill, very relaxed..." and then immediately after, you showed another one that was "very nervous and an over-achiever..." I loved the personifications!!

@SWFBeachLife 6 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I really never know what is going to fly out of my mouth!

@sherriemetcalf7120 6 месяцев назад

The tale of a chill lightning whelk and an over achiever lighting whelk; so funny 😆. Sounds like a great children’s book!

Good evening, Beach Angel and all you beach-loving folks! I really need the company of my friends tonite. My dear husband has been placed in a psych ward for his safety and mine. I miss him so! I remember my only bonnet. I was on the beach at Pensacola, wintertime, rainy and cold. Bummed because the younh man I loved was gone away. Asked God for a sign that it would be alright. A perfect Scotch bonnet rolled out of the next wave at my feet! Yours is larger and has such a lovely history, Cayo Costa! So many beautiful shells and a magnificent sunset, too! Yay! Paul got a nice big fish! Again, I'm so glad you got to enjoy this amazing, wonderful experience! Mr. Walker was so generous, a true gentleman! Your shell haul was monumental! I'm so happy for you! Mych love to all of you! May all your dreams be of seashells! Stay beachy! Rebecca, The Lost Mermaid

Congratulations on the Scotch Bonnet!!! What a fabulous find. Of course, the entire haul is fabulous. So glad you had the opportunity to stay a few days on Cayo Costa. I haven't been there in some time, but I remember it as very beautiful and I still display a giant whelk that my daughter found there many years ago.

@leslyeschoenhuth1107 6 месяцев назад

You had me laughing when you said the Lightning Welks were laid back & nervous.. The Apple Mureks were fairly large. Miss Not seeing Jingles & Baby's Ears.. They might be common, but they are some of my favorites.. What a fun beach! So full of sand dollars. Thanks for taking us with you!

Dear Sharmon, I'm so happy for you that you could stay in Cayo Costa! What a wonderful place to have some R&R while finding gorgeous shells! Congratulations on the Scotch Bonnet!! Finally!! I'm so, so happy for you!! The next bucket list item has to be the Albino Olive. It just has to be. Thank you for taking us with you to this little piece of paradise. I've loved every minute of it! If it was possible, I would book that cabin immediately to experience it myself. But that isn't possible, so I'm very grateful that I can experience it thanks to you!❤ I hope you have a wonderful week, my dear! Sending you lots of love and, of course, a big hug, xoxo ❤️, Ilona

Ilona - I will remember that sunrise for the rest of my life. It was so beautiful. The entire experience was really so special. I'm quite lucky to have been invited to this island and I'm thrilled the way everything turned out. Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to do A LOT of unexpected travel last week.

@JILLCritterologist 5 месяцев назад

Your Cayo Costa adventure was just thrilling! Thanks for sharing with us. You do such a wonderful job of making us feel like we're walking along with you, picking up treasures and chatting about them. Fun that the shelling was so good right iin front of the house, too. And that Scotch Bonnet -- YAY!!! It's the state shell of NC, and that thick rim around the aperture often survives the surf, but I've only once found a whole one. The size of those apple murexes was also impressive -- that's one of my favorite FL shells, love the variation in them the way you love your fighting conchs!

@SWFBeachLife 5 месяцев назад

Ah yes, those apple murexes can indeed be different from shell to shell. I wonder what my deal is with those FFCs?? *Shrug* If loving them is wrong, I don't want to be right. 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so very much for watching and coming to the beach with me!

@abigailhowes5944 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on finding the bonnet shell! Also, I am so envious of your off grid vacation! It's the kind of vacation that calls me! I am so glad you had the chance to go there. Wonderful, and the sunset is so beautiful. Have you thought of purchasing one of those UV or black lights to carry with you in a night venture? You would expose so many shells that react to that frequency of light. That would be sooooo... Cool. I love looking at shells with a blacklight as it exposed the parts that glow really pretty colors in the dark. I have even found some starfish glow a pretty yellow. Would be fun!

@SWFBeachLife 6 месяцев назад

I do have a blacklight but the only shells I have found that react to UV light is bubbles. I'm going to look again when it gets dark just to check. That is a cool idea!

@LeonaLinscott-cy6dz 6 месяцев назад

Congrats on the scotch bonnet! I agree the lighting is pretty crummy for night shelling especially when shooting a video, but I've had a significant portion of my best shelling days ever be at night, so I think it is worth it! It hardly gets any better than stepping foot on an unchartered beach too.

@SWFBeachLife 6 месяцев назад

100??? In one day?? I went to John MacArthur Park twice. First time I got 5 scotch bonnets. It was awesome. Next time it rained and I got skunked. Got to see a shark though. It's a 3 hour drive so I don't go all that often.

@FloridaBeachWalks 6 месяцев назад

Yes it was crazy that day we were with friends and those bonnets were just everywhere; we were all picking them up like candy! I wish our coasts were closer for sure-I totally understand about the 3hr drive. Takes me about them same and 4hr to Marco. I have SO many miles on my car lol but it's always a great trip (most times it's a day trip leaving at 2-3am to make it by sunrise). @@SWFBeachLife

That was a wonderful trip and I know you and hubby had a blast. Now I have a new addition to my bucket list. Stay on Cayo Costa. I love the home you stayed in and even the little apartment you showed. All I need at the beach is a bed, shower and somewhere to make coffee. I love the layed back comfy places.

But they are now on my bucket list. I have a bunch of Turkey wings, i collected in the Bahamas- they are interesting to look at but i haven't really done anything about them. Interesting that there are places that now rent on Cayo, Either they did before and I didn't know it or couldn't afford it - but feel like i would remember. Anyway, i'm going to check out the rentals.

@gingermackeen5741 6 месяцев назад

A Scotch bonnet in the dark! Lol Congrats! Everything after that was probably anticlimactic, right? BTW surf clams also make great night lights with the stripes... Nervous and chill LWs! 🤣 First, depends on how pretty the barnacle is whether or not I keep it on the scallop. Second, I do think that little scallop was a rough one. I don't remember what Gulf beach it was, but I found a BUNCH of those comb bittersweets a long time ago. Never see them now here. That was a really cool opportunity you had at CC. I've only shelled the north end and it was really good. Went out with Cativa Cruises. However there's another outfit that goes out from Bokela (sp?) that's less expensive and closer to me. Plan to use them next time. Thanks Sharmon! xxoo
