Virtual Beach Walk Florida. Marco Island Treasure Hunting! 

Hey there, Hello! And hello to the live"Florida Fighting Conch" !!!

Yay, Keewaydin! The haul this week is exquisite!

I so enjoy your laid-back approach to beachcombing!

I had found a cowrie shell a few weeks back. Four to be exact. Another fellow sheller's found one as well. Blow my mind. First time I had ever seen one. Made my day !

The end of February I’ll be down there and so excited my husband said we can hit the west coast beaches! I can’t wait I’ve never been to the west coast.

Loved getting my Sunday night joy. IT WAS -17° and a wind chill of -40° Friday night and Saturday. On top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, it was -48°, winds at times at near 100 miles an hour+ and a wind chill of -108°....you can understand how wonderful my beach time with you was so wonderful❣🦋❣🌊🐚🐚🐚🥰. You mentioned meeting followers on the beach. It occurred to me I have never seen you beautiful face. I would trip over you and not know unless, you said "hellow" and your lovely voice would tell me instantly. I am not being strange this is part of your gift as you shell for us. Thank you so much❣🦋❣

Loved the sound affect of the conch flipping over. 😊

Thank you for that little bit of serenity.

Loved all shells you found. I am getting more familiar with the names of some of the shells. Really liked the Florida fighting conch that was striped. Thank you

I so look forward to spending time with you every Sunday evening. We have just had a cold front go through… as low as -30… yep, no kidding… for the past three days and then up to 10 today… truly… winter’s not over yet but I’ll take the warmer temps over the deep freeze. So, being able to spend time with you on the beach is WONDERFUL! Beautiful beach walk today, thank you for sharing your time on the beach as always. Take care of you. Love from Ontario Canada ❤️

3 weeks from this Thursday, I'll be in your area.

one of my favorite shelling spots! Last time I was there, (new years day 2022) I saw my first live octopus, attached to the south side of the jetties, waiting for the tide to come back in. Always seem to be many live critters in that area.

Always looking forward for a new beach video 🐚 Keep up the great work, thank you

Hi , your vids brighten my day!

We were there at the same time! Love that beach. Thank you for sharing. Loved it on this cold New England evening.

Great finds! The inside of that horse mussel was so pretty!

This was an exciting, fun walk!! Thank you for taking me along. Have a great week. See you Sunday! XOXO

What a perfect day to be out shelling! Thank you for taking us all along.

I love your Uber service ! What a haul you had !! Thanks again for sharing the great time.

Yay!!! I must've missed this yesterday!! I can't help but love the color variety on the calico scallops so pretty 🐚🦀🏖🪸🪼🐠🦞🐙🐡👙wow what a variety ! And what excellent shelling today!! Ty for letting us tag along!!

Thanks for another awesome beach walk and lesson can’t wait to get to the beach soon

I noticed the black in the water and thought Lentil trap and sure enough you found one❤❤❤❤❤. Great shells!

What a gorgeous sunrise!! You did great with your shell findings. Love how the nutmeg looks twisted at the bottom of the shell. Love the shell that you can see the inside. That was so cool!! I looked up the Spotted Eagle Ray and found it fascinating. The ocean sure has a beautiful variety of life in it!! Thanks for a great walk!! Have a great week!!😍😍🥰🐬

So many beautiful shells. Love the sweet little shells! The ocean looked so peaceful and calm this day. Very relaxing! ❤❤❤😊

Thank you so much! I really needed that beach time! Rough week. TWO wentletraps! Yay!

I was so glad to see you had dropped a new video:) your shelling channel and your presentation, information about the area and the shells and critters really make me smile ❤

Wonderful treasures again today. Thanks for the adventure!

Love Marco! Congrats on the Wentletraps! The entire haul was fabulous. I can’t thank you enough for my beach fix this week.

We will be in Marco later this week, so excited! I have only been in the summer, looking forward to winter shelling!

Another fantastic time at the beach with you ! Wow that sunrise was absolutely beautiful and mr. Pelican was so handsome ! This video filled my heart with joy and excitement over all the amazing shells you found ❤🐚🏝️🦀

I know they're considered common but I really love the banded tulips. The perfectly straight lines that occur in nature just wow me...like the hinge side of the turkey wings...just cool to see. Thanks for the walk and I can't wait to see next week's trip!

Loved this trip to the beach! We swim in 68 degree water at the beaches in Rhode Island at the beginning of summer. Great bunch of shells taken today! ❤️🐚

Thank you for a great shelling day, enjoyed it so much!!

You are my favorite virtual sheller to watch!!

So the new name is “the shell Uber-er” lol. You did very well here, tons and great variety too. Stay safe x

This is always a very awesome spot! Thank you for our trip to the beach!

Oh how I wished I was there collecting shells with you sweet beachy friend. Thank you for another much needed beach day. Love your Kentucky mermaid friend 🧜🏼‍♀️🐚

I love the calmness of the water without the waves

Love it when you find those baby shells!

Delightful finds. Is there public parking open now to shell on Marco Island? Coming in April and I know Sanibel does not have public beaches open yet. What about Fort Meyers beaches, open?

Wentletraps! And that topsail was huge! Thanks again for sharing!!! The yellow spiney jewel box was awesome!

Happy Treasure Hunt on Marco Island, you will find many valuable things there.

I’m going to Florida in may close to Miami and thanks to you I will be having a total blast shelling!!! Thanks for teaching me so much!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

Oh, what a beautiful morning, to bum off Rodgers and Hammerstein. You sure are having a morning worth recording, Beach Angel! If it weren't for knowing that the weeks are flying by until I will be poking my toes into the same, albeit miles distant, body of water, I would be pea green with envy! It would seem that the sea is giving you a lovely example of all it has to offer! How blessed you are! I've got a couple of new shell books coming for my Valentine's Day birthday. I'm looking forward to them and am watching BBD's videos from Northwest Florida, brushing up on my target beaches' offerings so I'll be ready for my trip. What a pretty sea star! I just love them! On behalf of them all, thanks for putting them back in the sea. I hope that the people who take them from their home and then throw them in the trash can when they begin to smell all get really bad sunburns on their next beach trip! Wow! That eagle Ray's grinding plate is so cool! Never found one. I did find a sea turtle skull, though, and gave it to my niece along with my old shell collection. I can only hope she treasures it as much as I did, but you never know. I'm so glad you let me tag along today! I enjoyed it very much! My imaginary shell bag is full, too! Thanks for a great day! I'll have lovely dreams tonight, for sure! Much love and many shells, Becca, the Lost Mermaid

I hadn’t heard of the spotted eagle ray, but I broke away for a second to google it. They are gorgeous. The website did say they don’t have teeth, they have grinding plates. Good find. Love this walk. You found a couple shells I hadn’t seen before. Loved the beach time👏😊

Hopefully my Husband and I can visit Marco Island soon. Thanks for sharing this awesome video. Blessings 💞🐚🌊

thank you for the walk along the beach and quite time and lots of sea shells and live critters.....waiting on the next video.....fan from red oak tx.......

Thanks for yet another GREAT video. I loved the tiny Jasper cone, and as a Dutch viewer, I can't help but smile every time you find a wentletrap :) 🐚

My favorite day, Sunday shelling with Sharmon. Love Marco! Can't wait till Sept. Your videos give me "shelling fever." Thanks for more beach time. Have a great week. Hugs!

Two Wentle Traps! Woo-hoo! Beautiful haul this time, thank you for taking us along!

Thanks Sharmon, awesome shelling day. I love the fact that you name all the shells you know and that is more than this girl who was raised in Florida and spent 20 years at the beach. In my defense, there is a lot more types of shells in SWF than in NEF. Take care, see you next week.

I really liked the spotted slipper snail!

What's up Sharmon! Thank u for sharing ur experience with us. Nice to have you back.

Thank you for your amazingly joyful conversations! I always learn something about our planets little sea critters! 🐚🐌🐙🐬

Beautiful day at the beach! 💕

Yay ! Great day on the beach !! Nice finds !! I have not Yet found a Wentletrap !! Thanks again !!

I'm new to your channel and so enjoy your hunting! I never knew that there are so many seashells on all the beaches in Florida! You have also taught me so much regarding the different shells and their names! I'll keep watching and thank you! Pittsburgh, PA

Thanks for sharing your beach time! I am happy to have found you.

I’ve just recently stumbled upon your page, which I love so much and could watch all day. I go to swf every summer for two weeks and shelling is my top activity. It’s interesting to finally learn the names of the shells. The worm snail me and my nine year old daughter call them pasta shells.

Love your videos. They truly make my day! My husband and I are heading to Destin beach in 2 weeks so excited to see what we can find. Love your critters ❤️

Another good shell day. Thank you for sharing. If the tide comes in and you can't get around the jetty is there another way out?

So glad I got my shell fix since I usually live in Myrtle Beach but am in Pittsburgh this week where it was very cold. I normally walk the beach every day but am land locked and freezing! Thanks for the tag a long! 💕

Love your channel.

It was nice to see your video. I missed seeing you.

I am crazy about prickly cockles- I know they are everywhere but I still cannot resist picking them up whenever I see them. I went to Coral Cove on Jupiter last Tuesday and got a real haul of olives, seraphs, calico scallops a few teeny tiny conchs and a few super huge jingles. No matter the shells one finds, you cannot beat the beach in January.

Marco always delivers good shells! There are times I feel like I end up with more shells than I grabbed!😂 I agree. Spotted eagle rays are beautiful. One swam underneath me while I was snorkeling in the keys. I was in awe.

2 Wentle Traps! Woo Hooo! Many thanks, Sharmon 😎

Hello from Washington state! I love watching your videos. Usually the best things we can find on the Pacific Ocean side are sand dollars. The oceans are rough and cold! If it was 60* here everyone would be walking around in shorts and T-Shirts talking about the gorgeous weather we are having! 😂 … Can you please show some more of the common, everyday shells you find? They would still be new to me!

Leafy Jewel Box! And thanks for picking up the Mossy Arks today! Love me those gastropods, but have to stick up for those cool bivalves, too!

You have a blessed life!

I love watching your videos!! I can’t wait to one day come to Florida and she’ll hunt.

Love the leafy jewel box. Reminds me of the dresses the girls wore at Cypress Gardens😊 Also love the spiny jewel box. What a great day!

So awesome. Love the shelling

Today I shelled in Gasparilla. Lots of nutmegs, turbines, calicos, murex and olives! Huge shell piles!

Great adventure! Thank you!

Yayyyyyyy! Hi there, Sharmon! I am sooo excited to go to the beach!! Woo hoo! ( : I love narco island trips! ( : Wow, the first live FL Fighting conch shell was amazing! I love being on the beach as the sun rises and sets both! ( : Sooo many beautiful fighting Conches today! I loved spiny jewel boxes!! Sooo many beautiful shells, period, today! I love going to the beach with you. Sharmon!! ( : I love scallops in every color! Sooooo beautiful! ( : The black calico scallop was spectacular too! ( : The purplish smoke is soooo pretty!! Oooh. Those 2 calico scallops after beach time were sooo perfect! ( : Ooh...love the bright orange scallop too! ( : Gotta love the giant Atlantic cockle! Awesome holder for all your smaller shells! Awww.. you love the buttercup lucene's! I am glad you found that! ( : My other fave...jingle shells! ( :

I was on Marco Island last month and found bucket lists shells. It was amazing!!! I knew exactly how to find them by watching all your videos!!!

Fantastic haul !

Another beautiful day communing with nature. Northerners looking for Nemo in the ocean Pepe the Pelican Love the mini 🌩 lightning whelk n eagle ray plate

Yes, being on the beach at daybreak is magical!😊 And, yes, leafy jewelboxes are on the west coast but I don't see them often. Got lucky and found a hinged one once. Love those little bright yellow pear whelks! Wentletrap! I got excited last week when I found one at the north end of Honeymoon but it was alive! I think that's the first time I've ever found a live one. Lol I just thinned out my calico scallops! They're so cool I end up picking up way too many. What a darling baby horse conch!❤️ I do believe the Gulf is more gentle in your videos than I experience here on an average. The top snails are definitely bigger down your way. Great finds and a beautiful day. What more can you ask for?😊 Thanks Sharmon! xxoo

Beautiful shells !

Loved this beach. I noticed I have not seen you pick up the shells that are black and white striped shells you come across. I would love to know why and what they are. Thank you for the hrs of entreatment and all the amazing education on the amazing ocean life you share.

Thank you for your videos. I miss beachcombing with my dad.

Woohoo awesome finds ❤

What a beautiful and bountiful shelling day at Marco Island! Congrats on the wentletraps!! :-)

I was so thrilled to find a small turkey wing, a chestnut turban, and a small piece of coral here on the east coast at Ponce Inlet. Never have I ever found them here. I also found five what I think are periwinkles! What??

I'm up in NE Florida and find wentel traps in the upper rack lines pretty consistently. Today I was lucky enough to find a lettered olive that still had its top. The Atlantic sure is hard on shells. I've learned a lot from your content and can't wait to get to SWF soon.

The water is so calm there!

Yes 2 Wentletraps!! I know things are not the same but I love these videos. I look forward to these type of videos on Sunday. The updates, the giveaway or whatever.. all good and love as well. But these… so much yes!

Wow! Great Haul!

So relaxing.

😂😂67°!! That’s “bath water”!! I’d sooo be swimming too!! 👙

I use the Atlantic giant cockles as display bowls for my minis; augers etc. so beach bowls is a perfect name lol.

Thank you for your videos! I was in Panama City Beach around New Years and found tons of tiny, tiny shells and many sand dollar doves. I was very surprised when one of my tinies turned out to be a Wentle Trap! It's only 1/4 of an inch long and perfect. Definitely a bucket list find for me.

Such a great day! Beautiful! Nice finds as well. Sometimes I confuse the little horse conchs with the little drills. What is the name of this beach that you were at today? Love your videos!

Beautiful shells. 😍 God bless

Thanks for the Beach Time Sharmon! Wish I could be there in person! What is the difference between a Mossy Ark and a Turkey Wing? Hugs from Virginia!

Great trip. Love the hinged spiny jewel box. I will be in St Pete area in about a month. Hope we go to the beach. I think the common nutmeg is a gorgeous shell.

Awesome finds k e been wanting to go to Marco

Just got around to seeing this video. I absolutely loved the fighting conchs, especially the one that had the brown stripes on one of the knobs. The other favorite I loved seeing was that spiny jewel box. I don't remember seeing one from past videos that had that brown color on the top or that beautiful purple inside. Is that unusual for that species?
