Staying on Cayo Costa. Off-grid living to hunt for seashells!

- Staying on Cayo Costa was an adventure I was hoping to have one day. I wasn't looking forward to the heat or the bugs in the state park cabins, so staying in luxury accommodations with AC, heat and clean running water was pretty spectacular. You can have your own adventure on Cayo Costa too!

That sunrise is out of this world! Thanks for sharing!❤ It sure is nice to have the island all to yourself practically! Happy New Year! Hope to see a lot more in 2024! ❤
Happy New Year to you too!
Flying birds do have hollow bones. That was a big bone! Neat.
Wow, how fun is that? A beach house on a practically deserted island! Great video, Happy New Year!
I know right? Happy New Year to you too!
This is an absolutely PHENOMENAL episode - I think my favorite of yours! 💙
Cayo Costa is very close to my heart. Tenting at the campground, filming the stars, and the experience of being the first person on the beach to see the beautiful shell bounty, has been one of my absolute favorite past times since 2014 when I first found out about this island. I cannot wait until the state park, and campground open again in the future.
The way in which you story-tell here is captivating. The gorgeous sunrise, the shells(Golden Olive!)... just wow friend! Super excited to see part 2 😃
That is so sweet of you! Thank you so very much for all the compliments. Wish I could have filmed the night sky. It was beautiful! I hope I get the opportunity to go back!
That sunrise is canvas worthy! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful one. Wow!
Same! Now if I can just catch the green flash of a sunset!
@@SWFBeachLife no kidding, you could sell prints of it and other beach beauties you find. I’d buy them!
By watching your lovely channel, you made my dreams come true. We are now just leaving Florida and did we go shelling, thanks to you! Our trip on the Hemingway Shuttle to Keewaydin was sadly canceled due to weather. They wanted to know how we found them and we name dropped your channel. They were so excited to hear it was you!Captiva, Sanibel, Fort Myers, Bonita Beach, Juno Beach and St. Augustine. My heart is so full. I’ll be sharing on our RUclips channel soon. Happy New Year with many shelling blessings!❤️🦔🤠
Subscribed! I would enjoy seeing someone else go exploring in my backyard. I can't wait to see what you found!
@@SWFBeachLife I was so excited! Your content is true to life! Just uploaded our trip and thank you for all you do!❤️❤️🦔🤠
That sunrise was awe inspiring ! I could easily see me dragging a heavy duty bag with me to get those outstanding shells. Haha. I know, we don’t need to be greedy. Happy new year everyone !
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
I want to go for the sea biscuits, potato, urchin, etc!! 😂 ...and I, too, love a Calico Clam!!!
How wonderful to be able to take your time and enjoy a pretty much private shelling experience! Those inflated sea biscuits were cool--now I'm going to need to read all about them! Loved all of your finds! Hope your 2024 is the best ever!
I hope your 2024 is awesome as well!
Stunning sunrise!! Yes Sharmon a lot of birds have hollow bones, especially those that spend most of the time in the air. That was a lovely place to stay especially with all the seashells right outside the door. Thank you. Happy and Healthy New Year!
Thanks for the bone info!
Thank you for a year of great visits to the beautiful beaches in Florida. Happy New Year 🎉🎊
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Sunrise spectacular. Very short but wow
I love going along with you on your adventures. Let's hope that 2024 is just as adventurous. Happy New Year🎉🎉
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
What a dream come true. God bless you❤
I go to the Carolinas every year and I find so many baby's ears in so many colors
I want to go so bad!!! They must not be very sought after up there since they're so common, but I would go bananas!!
Such a beautiful place and that sunrise...holy moly! Love all the great shell finds and identification of them and info you share! Blessings and all the best for more great shelling days! 😊
What a fabulous opportunity this was provided to you.. you reach some people with your videos.. s lifetime chance to live beachside.. and such awesome treasuries.. I could go there in a hearbeat.. never needing electricity ever! Lol... thank you for taking us along!!
Thanks for coming along with me Kathy!
One of my favorite areas to visit! I will have to look into staying there☀☀☀
Wow! That sunrise!
Enjoyed this walk and the spectacular sunrise! I was smiling every time you mentioned the temperature…50 degrees is my favorite and preferred temperature for beachcombing. 😊
I think 80 is my preferred temperature but I'll take 60! 50 is just a little too cold. 🥶
Lovely!❤❤❤
Your videos make me so happy. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Our Oregon beaches don't have the beautiful shells like you have.
I am SO spoiled to live here. We have tons of island and even more shells!
Those little birds are called Sandpipers. They are so adorable. :)
Of course! There is a little Disney short called "Piper" - it's ADORABLE!
Awesome! Thank you!!!!
Gorgeous! And we have those white pelicans in Wisconsin and it's quite the sight to see them moving through our state in large flocks. One year during migration we were greeted by two pelicans on the sidewalk across one our cities' bridges. It's unreal how big they are! Oh...and I hate to say that was probably a pelican arm bone (a humerus).
We have them migrating through in the fall in Iowa too. So fun to see!
They are our 2nd largest bird in the USA - they are HUGE! Thanks for the bone info!
You're welcome! @@SWFBeachLife

That would be a dream come true. Every time my husband says let’s move, I tell him I want to move to Florida. He changes his mind, then. That sunrise was absolutely gorgeous!

A very Happy New Year to you, your family, and everyone in the group.🎊🎉🎉🎊
I wish you a fantastic year.
This was a lovely video, off grid B&B, sunrise, and shell treasure hunt.
I found it so nice that you had a house to have a holiday in, to relax four a few days, get in the outdoor tub, and have shell paradise to explore outside your doorstep when ever you felt like it without being under time constraints.
Loved this place for the quiet personal space you could enjoy.
You found some lovely shells. I love the weird shaped lettered olives. 💗
Looking forward to shelling with you from my home in Germany. Take care and see you next weekend. 🤗💖👏🎊🎉
Thank you for coming to the beach with me all the way from Germany! I met a woman from Germany the month before Hurricane Ian came. She was happily picking up sand dollars and leaving them for others. I would have done the same. I love the hunt!
Looks amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖
It was! 💜
never saw the calico clam before,,,cool
Oh my, you are so good...at finding new ways to explore the Florida beaches...awesome sunrise, great shells and a lovely beach home experience. Happy New Year...hope 2024 is a wonderful year for you !!!
I hope 2024 is going to be wonderful for you as well!
Happy New Year from Scotland. Thank you once again for your amazing film, the sunset was out of this world.
I hope 2024 will bring you and your community in Fort Myers Beach the best of everything and pray that all the help that people need is forthcoming.
Good luck to you all.
Thank you so much Scotland Beach Friend! May 2024 be amazing to you as well!
love your videos..moved to Nebraska after living in SW Florida for 10 yrs so you take me right back there..to the Beach! Thank you! And of course Im a shell collector!
My BFF lives in Wayne, NE. She's a shell collector too! ❤️🐚
Sharmon, thank you for sharing another of your magical shelling trips! When I accidentally found, then watched, your kayak trip to Dickman's Island, I was immediately drawn to shelling. Now, my wife and I are addicted! By simply being on the lovely beaches and mesmerized by the ocean's waves and music, I think it's natural to be addicted to it. That deformed Lettered Olive, the almost Golden Olive, all the attached Calico Clams, et al, excite me for our time there in three weeks! Thank you for recommending Florida's Living Beaches, it is a great reference source. Happy New Year and Happy Shelling in 2024!
That book will serve you well for many years! I still use it all the time. I'm glad you have discovered Florida's amazing beaches too. I had no idea how amazing they can be until I moved here. Happy New Year!
Wow, what a nice haul! Happy New Year Sharmon!❤❤❤
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
That sunrise was beautiful and the accommodation looked awesome. Currently watching this whilst storm Henk is blowing a gale here in the UK. Thank you for sharing and taking me to paradise xx ❤❤❤❤
Goodness, be safe during that storm! And thanks for watching my little beach trip!
Happy New Year! Great location too. I just got done telling family about Cayo Costa...and wanted to camp there.
Sunrise was gorgeous!! I'm jealous, again, lol. Blessings to you and your family for a healthy happy new year and. ❤
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
I loved the sunrise!! There’s no way to outdo that one!! What a beautiful place to stay!! It’s really homey and cozy and most importantly, it’s right on the beach something that I would love.
I haven’t said it yet, but I hope that 2024 is filled with laughter, love and plenty of seashells for you and your family!!
Thanks for such a beautiful video and I agree with you, the baby ear, that’s my favourite shell too. Remember in your opening when you started, you had a baby Ear and I always loved seeing it at the opening of the video.
Have a great week and take care!!🥰🥰🐬🐬🩵🩵
Thanks Pam! ❤️
Beautiful island and shells. Have not been there yet but on my bucket list. That was super nice of the owner to let you stay. That's a dream. Your own private beach!! I love those sea biscuit things. I could do a week there. Let me add that to my bucket list!! Happy New Year Sharmon!! Look forward to another year of your beachy goodness!!
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
The sunrise was stunningly beautiful. Worth going just to experience that alone.
It really was. I'm so grateful I was able to capture it so I can enjoy it over and over!
Happy New Year from KY!
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
What a wonderful adventure. Sorry the wind blew so hard. Lovely shells. Happy New Year & thank you for the stunning Shelling. I hope 2024 will bring you Health & Happiness. Thank You!
I hope 2024 is wonderful to you too!
Have a Happy New Year Sharmon. 🎉😊
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Thanks!
Lori you are so good to me - thank you! 🙏🏼
