I never thought I would see this beach on RUclips but from personal experience this is the only beach that never runs out of shells. It’s an absolute gold mine!!! People bring big bags and take as many as possible. I have my own collection. After a storm is the perfect time to go!
I used to go to Sanibel every Spring with my family, abd it started a life long love of shells. It has been many years, and I lived for 15 years in Virginia Beach. No contest, shell-wise. Sanibel wins, hands down. But, you hit a treasure trove after the storms. I'm happy to be able to "walk" on the beach with you via your video. Thank you.
They are perfectly fine when they're on the beach. When the tide is low like it was in this video, the animals suction themselves down to the sand as an anchor and as a way to trap water in until the tide returns and they can release. They're perfectly safe on shore. The only time it's better to put them back into the ocean by hand is if they are flipped over or noticeably dried out and/or in distress.
Thanks Pam For This Video,Love To Go Shelling, But Not Had The Chance For A Long Time Now,So Thank You,I Found You Through One Of My You Tube Friends That Was On Holiday And Was On The Same Trip As You,TFS Hugs Lynn :))X
I am so very glad that you put the live snails in their shells back into the ocean instead of taking them and ( once cleaned sold them to tourists ) like myself i catch and release and only keep what I intend to eat, like yourself I'm VERY environmentally concerned about our surroundings and the toll us humans do because of poor to no proper education, keep up the good work of showing us what to do and not....big hugs from hazel park Michigan!!!
I am 40 years old I have probably seen the beach 5xs in my life (i live in TN about 5 hours from Myrtle) I have seen Del Ray beach in Boca Raton FL Myrtle Beach & Kensington beach in NJ Love everything beachy & shells (my whole bathroom is Beachy) Hubby & I are waiting on our 16yr old to turn 18 in Feb of 2022 & I we are BEACH bound!!!!!
I just got back from Sanibel and nothing like this! this must be a certain time of year to see all of this. We thought we were gonna get good shells. NOTHING !But loved the Island!
Been frequenting Sanibel for over a decade and I just can't wait to relocate there. It's a beautifully cared for place that many appreciative residents will fight pretty fiercely to continue to preserve. As will I. Oh yeah, and the shells are beautiful too. 😆 (red tide blooms, ugh, I'm not going there 😡🤬😡)
My wife and I havent seen the island for 8 years. We used to vaca each year there. Hope to come in 2018. We liked the Snook motel , it changed names, I know.Neat how the weather and cycles of the sea affect the beach. I met Kathy Oda Mazzota on Captiva years back at their gallery. I read novels about Doc Ford thanks to Randy. Hope all have done ok this past hurricane.
OMG NO WAY! I swear we found that EXACT shell like it was soooo huge bigger than my head and it was so hard to find but we had to put it back as there was a creature living inside!
I love seashells, and I went to Sanibel last year after seeing your vids, but I didn't see anything nearly like this, I went home with a couple arcs and was very disappointed :( but ill come back again over Spring Break with high hopes! :D
Last week I found a lace murex just after the sun came up. It had a foot print right over the top of it. On Captiva I found for the first time not just one sea bean but more like 4 full cups. They are the ones that look like olives...I thought the name was Nikker but still don't know.

That must have been so much fun. Lots of everything out there. Would have lost my mind. Was fun to watch. Great video
Absolutely, amazing, I have some shells, that I LOVE. And it really stands out to me , knowing that I am not the only one who else loves sea shells!
omg id give anything to be there! so beautiful and i hope i get to come to sanibel one day.
We found a 13 inch conch shell on this beach! It is amazing and a once of a lifetime find, I highly recommend this beach!
Wowww wonderful video. I adore shells and the way you treat them, with great respect.
Thanks for sharing and greetings from Milan Italy
Wow!! This is amazing! I come here every year and have never seen anything close to this! Thank you so much for sharing!
That's amazing! Sanibel is truly the best place for shells!
Hope all of you, and beach, are safe after the hurricane. You are all in my prayers.
Beautiful. Your joy & happiness is infectious. Thank you for taking me to this gorgeous beach. God bless.
Mother nature was like, ty for your good deed. Here's a beautiful ty gift 🥰❤❤

This is awesome and so sweet of the gal to put some of the guys back into the water!! loved this!
Thank you for putting them back. My heart hurts to see all the dead sea creatures. Please put as many live creature back as possible....
Janette Klein YES same.

It’s illegal to take live shells. Thank goodness! not that it stops everyone but most that go to Sanibel have respect.
Melissa Deaton I mean the only live shells are the conch shells
Wow me to i like shelling
OMG!!! I’m so sad I missed this, that is crazy!! I’m getting ready to make my 4th trip in a few weeks I can’t wait!!
You're reward for taking care to return so many back to the water. You earned it!!!
I’m visiting Sanibel and I love the little shells. They’re so colorful and I am going to make jewelry with them.
Wow, I have never seeing this things a live... thanks for sharing

I wish my state had a beach. I remember going to New York and finding all sorts of shells, it was so exciting 😔
so pretty, in New Zealand we only have super tiny shells

Hi I am from New Zealand and we have lots of seashells there is this beach called shelly beach in tauranga
can't wait to go here one day- heading to the Princess Half Marathon Weekend in a couple weeks, hoping to find time to get there!
Jackpot!!!!!😍. Last summer I was in Florida for a week and went diving every day for shells. Absolutely loved it!

It’s paradise!!
This is why I love summer time in Keeywadin / Captiva. All those shells would be empty and great souvenirs :)
Love looking when I am at the beach.... Not much beach here in the big AZ, subbed
I will go back to Sanibel soon 🐚🌴🌞

I really enjoy your videos! How I envy you for living near the beach! I love the ocean and all its creatures!
I love sanible!!!! We go every year!!!
I wish we had this in Hawaii
these look amazing. unfortunately the English coast doesn't have exotic shells like these!
My wife and I havent seen the island for 8 years. We used to vaca each year there. Hope to come in 2018. We liked the Snook motel , it changed names, I know.Neat how the weather and cycles of the sea affect the beach. I met Kathy Oda Mazzota on Captiva years back at their gallery. I read novels about Doc Ford thanks to Randy. Hope all have done ok this past hurricane.
Charlotte Collins neither DOES THE mediterranean
Neither where I live
The Gulf coast has tamer waters (during calm weather) but Sanibel is special for its shells 🐚

to fly down some Nebraska winter. Regards, Charlie and Sue.
I love shellling also well looking for shells
Sanibel is a city on Sanibel Island in southwest Florida.
Thanks that's great to see such shells😌
OMG NO WAY! I swear we found that EXACT shell like it was soooo huge bigger than my head and it was so hard to find but we had to put it back as there was a creature living inside!

Thanks for kindness to alive see shell
I was just at Sanibel what beach are you on?
Miss you soooo much!
It is interesting to see what washed up and you had an awesome shell find. But it’s kind of sad to see all the animals that washed up.
👍👍👍 V e r y n i c e 👍👍👍
What amazing footage!!!
Last week I found a lace murex just after the sun came up. It had a foot print right over the top of it. On Captiva I found for the first time not just one sea bean but more like 4 full cups. They are the ones that look like olives...I thought the name was Nikker but still don't know.
I found a medium size conch shell today on the coast of North Carolina! Don't worry though! I knew it was dead when I picked it up and saw the inside.
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
I visited there many years ago
Wow amazing but I tell it's a SHANK and we believe it's sound give me a positive energy
I love seashells too, I like to collect them at Florida when I'm at the beach when I was a little girl when my dad and my sister and my grandma Tracy
OMG!!! Look at them, they're so pretty 😭
Wow that's amazing where is this exactly . So cool and soothing to watch at the same time.
