- My idea of a great day is spending time at the beach. On this particular day, my husband and I headed back to Sanibel to see what we could find. Once again we were rewarded with some awesome shells. Come with me as I shell on Sanibel - I even included a little quiz this time!
I am sooo digging the Calico Scallops! The other shells are beautiful as well. Thank you, Sharmon ❤
I love the center of the welts when they’re broken and all you see is the spiral I’ve always been attracted to those
I like seeing the way the critter builds the shell too!
You two found some good ones today. So pretty ❤
Just wanted to let you know that I think your shelling videos are among the best ones out there. I love the editing and your voice is very soothing. Keep up the good work!
THANK YOU so much for the feedback!
That was so exciting! ~Evelyn
The color on the crowned conch is phenomenal
So much life. So beautiful.
Thank you for making these videos! They're very informing and cool to watch! Keep it up!
Awesome educational video! Thank You!
🙏🏼

Las conchas marinas que tenemos aquí en Florida son muy bonitas. ¡Tengo mucha suerte de vivir aquí!
Absolutely loved this video
I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your shelling adventures every week. I’m in NC and before that NH. And the variety and beauty of the shells your able to share with us is so much fun. Thanks for the info and thank you for videoing all these trips.❤
You are so very welcome! I love my time on the beach and sharing all the things I'm finding and learning along the way!
We used to do alot of shelling and while we lived over in the Philippines we have some pretty large conch shells. My dad used to make these really pretty lamps out of them. They had a nice wood bottom and the stood up pointed side down and he somehow got a bulb in it . They gave off the nicest glow. Good memories.
Thanks for taking me back so many yrs. My dad's been gone now for 15 yrs and I'm getting old too but I sure do enjoy thinking about the ocean and my dad. Thanks
You are so very welcome! I'm really happy I could bring you some good memories. I miss my Dad too. He's been gone 7 years and we shared a birthday ☺️ ❤️
Your videos help me so much. Thank you xx

fouraces1949 Thank you!
Ohhh I just found you and am in love...I wish I was shelling with you...just started to epoxy again and would be in heaven there picking up small shells😊thanks for sharing your adventures...if you or anyone else wanna swap shells for northern Ontario 🇨🇦 pine cones just let me know
The last video I went out to make I was so wishing I could transport people here. There were shells and sand dollars all over the place! I'll share that video on Sunday, 9/26. Thank you for the pine cone offer but I'm saving all my room for shells. 🤗🐚❤️
"The stump does provide."❤
Yes, nice fighter, good color.
At last 2 auger. my favorite shell. Hallalula
Awesome video as always! Keep it up :) Just so you know, the shell at 0:52 is a lace murex, no worries, it's hard to tell apart :)
Thank you for pointing this out! I now see the lace mural has a smaller shell opening. I’ll try to find two and compare next shelling trip. Thank you again!!
It looks like a piece of a large whelk ? I was wrong, it’s a horse conch. I think I watched this video already and enjoyed it again and will probably watch it a few more times. 😊
Judy Prezeau LOL! I keep adding a video a week so hopefully I can keep you entertained!

I live about 1 hr 45 min away from Sanibel. Do you need to get there really early for good shelling, or would it be about the same at any time of day, just more people on the beach later in the day? I imagine we would want low tide? Not sure worth the expense to stay overnight vs just a day trip. Also, which section? Bowman's Beach or where do you prefer? Thanks for any thoughts and a big thank you for all your beach videos! So fun & very educational!
My favorite times to shell are first thing in the morning, and low tide - preferably both at the same time :) However this time of year the low tide tends to be in the evening, which competes with the evening showers should they be around. My recommendation would be to go to Bowman's and get there early. There's plenty of parking so even if you don't get there first thing you should be able to park ($5 per hour). When I get to the water I walk to the right, toward Blind Pass. I personally don't think you'd need to have an overnight stay and could easily visit as a day trip but that's up to you! :) Thanks so much for watching my videos!
This was before you fell In love with the rose petals!
I can tell by the thumbnail this is an old one. I've learned so much!
The scallops that are so beautiful should called ‘Sunset Scallops ‘!
They should! I now call them the “sunburst” pattern. I’ve seen some that look like there are birds flying too! They’re just irresistible! Thanks so much for watching!
SWF Beach Life thanks for always responding!
How do you tell the apple murex and the lace murex apart?
GREAT QUESTION! The apple murex has a larger opening on the right side, where the lace murex tends to have a smaller one. The juveniles are harder to tell apart. I'll be putting a video together about all the different shells i've found and how to identify them soon!
I am obsessed with watching your videos. You are very entertaining and your voice is very soothing. What do you do with all of these shells? Do you make jewelry with them? I’m dying to know please respond
Mostly I keep my shells in glass jars, vases and lanterns. I showed my collection in a past video: ruclips.net/video/Afy0jl0smpE/видео.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: ruclips.net/video/Mf5SVm8m5n8/видео.html And a shell photo frame: ruclips.net/video/h9UIvqlOzgM/видео.html I have lots of ideas I just need to find more time!
I use scallops to make necklaces. I would love to send you a pic. Thanks for your videos…they are awesome.
Do u find different seasons bring in different shells ?I just returned from Sanibel & didn’t have much luck.
Karen Gadaleta I haven’t been here in SW Florida for an entire year yet, but it seems to me the winter months bring more shells. That being said, every single weekend brings new and different goodies. Sanibel hasn’t been giving me as many shells as it was a few months ago.
SWF Beach Life thanks so much. I still enjoy the search!
Karen Gadaleta Me too!!
The longer the better. Could listen to you all day...well sometimes I do 🤦🏻♀️🥴
❤️❤️❤️

Like to see u more in the video
What's the difference between a crown conch and a fighting conch?
The fighting conch is a very thick, usually brown or orange shell with some bumps on the bottom of the shell. The crowded conch is a much thinner shell, has strips of purple or brown and will sometimes have spikes along the top of the shell. I find both pretty regularly so be sure to watch more videos and you'll learn the difference!
I live in Vermont. You don't know what cold is.
I would never survive there!
🏝️? 😂
How long did it take You to get over to that sand bar And could you have went to a few of the islands?
You can walk to a couple of the sand bars out there, but you'd have to kayak to really explore any of the other islands.
I know that I watched your video my question was how long does it take for you to kayak over to the sandbar
@@channingcarmack913 Sorry! I’ve never kayaked over at Sanibel so I’m not sure.
OMG I’m sorry I commented on the wrong video I must’ve been late night scrolling. OK my question is how long does it take for you to kayak over to the sandbar from Marco Island where you rented the kayak. Sorry
@@channingcarmack913 LOL! Well that I can tell you about! I would say it’s about 10-15 minutes to the sand bars and maybe another 5 to get to Dickmans. From there is maybe 20 minutes to paddle over to Kice because Kice to the marina was around 30 minutes total. Everything is pretty close so it’s not THAT bad. That being said, I did have a friend swept out into the gulf and she had to call 911 so pay attention to the tides and winds if you decide to go!
My wife says put her shells back. Lol. We will return.
LOL! I hope you guys have an awesome time planning (my favorite part!) for your return trip down here. Stay safe in the meantime!
Those kitten paws were not viable, the shells get fused together and almost fossilized, I have a bunch like that, they are dead.
PJ Man Wow - thanks for letting me know. Any idea how to tell those from the live ones?
Do you ever find scotch bonnets?
I found a really beat up one, which was my prized scotch bonnet, but then I found a couple when I headed to the East Coast to do some shelling: ruclips.net/video/nFa4K33UWXg/видео.html
I Thought that that first one was a lace murex
oh I just scrolled the comments and saw my bad
@@izsatapia8558 All good! Thank you for trying to help me out!
How do I talk to you directly?
I wish I had the time to talk to everyone who wanted to talk to me too 😃 You can shoot me an email: swfbeachlife@gmail.com
You have a calico not a Sunday Venus
You need to study names more, but good job.
Thank you for pointing this out! I didn't even know about Calico clam shells. This really helps me - thank you again!
