Staying warm in winter with a beach walk may seem counterintuitive, however it really is warm enough to explore the beaches down here so warm up your cocoa or coffee (or grab a brandy) and let's visit the beach and see what is out there today.

Thank you for speaking up and saving that animal. ❤ Soon after I moved down here, my partner and I came across a grown man kicking around a calico crab on the beach. I went after him in a rage and told him exactly why what he was doing was terribly wrong. He didn't care one bit, but it hurts my heart to see people so willing to hurt or kill these innocent animals.

@clarebeelman9691 7 месяцев назад

It's not only unethical, it's illegal to harass or kill that species. Isn't it?

You can't fix stupid. Or mean I suppose. That would have been so upsetting. I think most people are just uneducated. It's fine time I made a video to let them know shells come from animals!! Sorry you had such a horrible beach experience with that @#$*#@&%@#. ❤️

My husband and I speak our piece of mind when we see someone neglecting or even abusing animals. Thank you for making these critters important! Update on our Brody who had a cancerous tumor removed from his leg…we will be starting radiation therapy tomorrow and will continue daily M-F for the next two weeks. The Radiation Oncologist has run several tests for confirmation on the cancer type, drew more blood chemistry, did chest Xrays and an abdominal ultrasound to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread. It’s all came back negative! Thank you to all who have sent up prayers for our fur baby! Without medical insurance we wouldn’t have been able to even think about this. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Hi Sharmon! Thank you for this lovely video. I was stunned by most of those shells you found. That yellow sunray venus clam was incredible as was the giant horse conch and quahog. That one fighting conch with the zigzags on the knobs was so beautiful. I was wishing so much that I could have been walking with you on that beautiful beach. Yes, I'm one of the ones who got snow and ice this last week. I'd go snorkeling with you if I could. My dear late sister Leilani taught me how to snorkel when I was visiting her in Hawaii. So many beautiful fish and other wonders to see under there. God bless you and have a great week, my friend.

@SWFBeachLife 7 месяцев назад

I have only been snorkeling a few times since I've moved here and while I never am chomping to get in the water, once I'm there I don't want to leave! Snorkeling at the Dry Tortugas was awesome! I got to see some live things that I've only ever seen dead on the beach.

@saraclark8611 7 месяцев назад

Well that was a fantastic day at the beach for sure! Soooo many treasures’ that sun ray Venus is a gorgeous find and yep wow beautiful shark eye!! Woot woot! I have to say it is appalling how some people treat live creatures. When I visited fort Myers at the end of August I had a run in with a gentleman who decided to throw the biggest crown I had ever see like it was a baseball. Literally brought tears to my eyes and boy did that guy get it from me. The next day at low tide I happened to run across said crown conch and he was still alive and well, I walked him out as far as I could. So anyway I hear what you are saying and how frustrating and sad it can be. It’s awesome you take time in every video to stress leaving live critters at the beach 💕

@SWFBeachLife 7 месяцев назад

One Frorida fighting conk but it had a critter in it, bummer. There was absolutely nothing!! I was so hoping for a beautiful calico scallop or juvenile Fl. fighting con, but just nothing. I found one crown conk, and about four olives that looked like they were made of cement because they were so rough, no shine. I did enjoy you finding that shark eye, wow!! .

People, especially in the U.S., are just used to having or getting what they want. They don't care what happens to that not so pretty thing living in the shell they want. It's a shame that more respect isn't shown to our beautiful creatures. It's kind of ridiculous when you think of how much is available to them. They just need to take a few more steps.

That moon snail is gorgeous! It reminded me of the one that the other sheller (who also found a junonia) found when you were on Sanibel after a storm. And now you have your behemoth! Excellent!

Wow, I love that golden Sunray Venus! FMB was very good to you on this walk, the giant shark eye is also fabulous. I can hardly wait for next weeks video.

Thank you, Sharmon, for advocating for snail-y kindness. The big shark eye and golden sunray Venus clam are GORGEOUS! Hello, from snowy Maryland. P.S. Did you miss a wentletrap at 22:05?

I didn't see a wentletrap at 22:05 but I just was looking through all footage and I see a big horse conch I missed - LOL! Practice really does help! Thanks for watching from snowy MD!

Dear Sharmon, Thank you so much for educating that lady! In my humble opinion: she was very rude!! Were the other shells she carried empty? I'm impressed that you even gave her your Lightning Whelks. That was so kind of you. Don't know if I had it in me after that conversation. 🤬 But the beach gave you good karma with finding that stunning shark eye! ❤ Wow, what a finds! Even that humongous horse conch. Alright, it was a bit beat up, but still an amazing find! I'm very curious how your snorkelling went, probably fantastic. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you take for making these videos. When I can't sleep, I love to watch older videos. And I love them all, but I love you more!😘❤ Sending you lots of love, and of course a big hug! Xoxo ❤, Ilona

Dear Sweet Ilona, my beach friend from the Netherlands that has been with me for so long...I think I will finally give up trying to predict how my beach days are going to go. I really didn't think I was going to find enough to make a video when I started. It was probably a good hour of not all that much and then all of a sudden! I never give up anyway, but this was a good lesson. You never know what's going to be out there! I hope you are feeling as well as you can. Hugs, sunshine and strength to you! 🌴🌊🐚❤️

The mother of pearl shell is absolutely beautiful, the colors are stunning. Thank you for describing them, I've seen them in some of your videos and have wanted to know what they are. Someday I'll make it to the beach to gather some of these shells 😃

I was at Honeymoon Island yesterday. 50* burrrrrRRR! Found tons of huge pen shells, Venus clams, buttercups one of the better shell days in a longtime!

@SWFBeachLife 7 месяцев назад

It's such a bummer that the cold winds seem to do that! I wish it was warm and gentle waves that brought in all the shells 🤣

WOW! How unbelievable some people can be! How cruel! I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut or my temper under control! I'm an avid animal lover 😂of all creatures! Except snakes and spiders, nope, not them...hopefully you've taught her a valuable lesson!
