As a person from Kauai, I really appreciate you not disclosing the beaches and locations of where you find the shells. Too many people share the locations of very special places and it ruins it for everyone. So thank you for not being one of those people.
Its absolutely amazing that you found an Isabella Cowrie AND a Sunrise Shell. I am born/ raised on Kauai (& spending a great deal of time at the beach), I can say you got extraordinarily LUCKY!😊
I have shelled in Galveston before, and haven’t had the best of luck. It’s pretty sparse there for shelling. I’ve had better luck at western end of padre island national seashore. The Texas coast isn’t the best for shelling, but it can be done! 🐚
@user-ht2iv7rz5r I just got back from Galveston, Texas. The shelling is not very good in Galveston. Have you ever taken the ferry over to Bolivar Peninsula? 30 miles up the road from the ferry, you can find nice shells. It's called High Island Beach. The beaches soon before High Island have shells too. Good luck searching for shells in Texas. I hope you find some great shells.
Loved this video! Can’t believe you found 3 sunrise shells. I recently went shelling on Maui and found a lot of these shells. It’s great to now put a name to the shells. Aloha!
Hi Ellie, this the best Hawaiian shelling video I have seen. The info on the shells and the amount is amazing! I go to Maui to snorkel for shells I have had some luck but nothing like you found on Kauai. I am going to be on Kauai in May and would love to know a few beaches you liked. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful shelling experience 🤩
Thank you so much for your kind words! I always wanted to snorkel in Maui for shells, I've heard there's a lot there. It took me about 3 months to find everything that's in the video on Kauai. Here are some of the beaches that I loved: Polihale state park & tunnels beach
Oh cool you go under water!! My first time watching one of your videos and I'll definitely subscribe! My first time seeing Hawaiian shell and the scenery and water are beautiful thanks for sharing 🥰
Wow what nice beaches!!!! Shelling in rocks is my favorite things to do! Just amazing beach candy! Thx for this and can’t wait to see your other videos. I just subscribed ❤ All the best!
Hi, I just subscribed. What a beautiful place and the shells are all stunning. 😍 I do like big old worn shells too. They have character. I'm sitting in cold Germany wishing I could swim where you are and go shell hunting. 😅 We don't have any shells on our beaches on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is about an hours drive from where we live. The beach is small and stoney here too. It is lovely to see your beautiful beaches and the whole scenery. Thank you for sharing and giving us info about what shells eat, etc. There is just one thing I think would be great. If you could lay out all the shells at the end so that we can see the whole collection after each day. Its nuce to see them all together and quickly run through the names again. It is truly shell gem heaven over there. The snorkeling and turtle at the end was amazing. Waving from Germany. Ciao 👋👋👍💖🐚🐠
Maaaan I can’t believe the difference between Kauai and Hawaii. Every time we are on the big island you find primarily pieces of shells because of all the lava. Now I wanna go to Kauai next time we visit.
This is definitely one of the best shelling videos. I'm subscribing. My husband and I just went to Oahu in November. I was able to find some shells. What time of the year would you say is the best for finding shells in Hawaii? I would love to go shelling on Kauai. Which beach had the rocks?
Thanks, Susan! I'd say the island is great all year-round, but I prefer the winter season! I can't recall the name of that beach, but everything on the north shore is amazing!
Absolutely loved the shell finds lovely pace and video could show some shells a bit closer but overall very nice. I would prefer it without music just the sound of the waves would be nice!!❤️
@@forestt6121 if I’m not aloud to take them I’ll just take pictures and enjoy them that way. And I’m not a foreigner I’m a United States citizen! And the last time I checked Hawaii is part of the United States!
Thank you! I go at sunrise to try to find sunrise shells- they're often picked up by other people if you go later in the day. But other than sunrise shells, the best time for beachcombing is generally an hour or so before low tide
My husband is bringing me to Hawaii for our 50th wedding anniversary in 2025. I can’t wait to look for shells. 🥰🥰 Do you know if I can bring the shells back to Ohio with me?
What a fun video. Beautiful shells and Trigger and moorish idols’s are my favorite fish.
Thanks! They’re some of my favorites too!
Wow this is so informative! I found a lot of these shells during my visit so it’s cool knowing the names!

Best Shelling channel🐚 ever! Your talented, informative and considerate. Looking forward to more videos soon!
No other sheller can find such a wide range of shells in each beach run. And know each shell species!
Been having the hardest time finding shells in Galveston TX. With your talents, would you consider shelling there? (if you haven't already)
Wow, thank you so much for your comments!! 💚

Lovely video! I was happy to see what a sunrise shell looks like. You really scored! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of all of these beautiful shells!
Really love your channel!!! Thank you!!!!!

I absolutely love the information!!! Thankyou so much, cannot like this channel enough
That Mulberry Drupe is so beautiful
I was there 10 days ago. Takes lots of looking. I never did find one of those black spotted shells. Did find some pieces.
So many beautiful shells 🥰 🇬🇷
Loved this video 🐚🌊

That cone wow !
I so enjoyed this video!! You have a new subscriber....
such great finds! I'm here visiting family in Kauai, which beaches did you go to?
Best of luck! 🐚
If you could only pick 3 of those spots which ones would you recommend? I’m going to Kauai in June and only have 3 days 🥲 Thank you!

Just Subbed! Have a new item on my bucket list!
Whoaaaaa,those cones soooo bigggg
Love your videos not alot of unnecessary talking great job
My husband is bringing me to Hawaii for our 50th wedding anniversary in 2025. I can’t wait to look for shells. 🥰🥰
As a foreigner please respect others homes and do not take.
@@forestt6121 if I’m not aloud to take them I’ll just take pictures and enjoy them that way. And I’m not a foreigner I’m a United States citizen! And the last time I checked Hawaii is part of the United States!
I really like your videos but please turn the music down. Your voice is compeating with the music.
Noted! Thanks for your feedback 👍
I’d rather hear the surf.
Love your channel! Was wondering if you always go at sunrise or can you find just as many shells during other times in the day?
Thank you! I go at sunrise to try to find sunrise shells- they're often picked up by other people if you go later in the day. But other than sunrise shells, the best time for beachcombing is generally an hour or so before low tide
Thank you! Will keep that in mind :)@@elliesseagems

According to Hawaiian culture and a belief known as "Pele's Curse," taking shells (along with sand or rocks) from Hawaii is considered bad luck
Nice Sunrise seashells can be expensively to buy.
I got stung by a jelly fish along that section of beach. My girlfriend happily peed all over me though and saved the day. lol
If it's A cone, leave it alone!! Lol
Never seen so many cone shells,
Aloha!
❤
The brown shell in the middle looked like an olive.
What beach did you find the sunrise shells. We were in kauai for 6 days and did not find any 😩
Where exactly are these beaches? At what time of day is the best to shell? I’ll be coming for two weeks in October.
Please , where is this beach?
Nice video and informative, but the background music should be turned down. Cannot hear you through some of this.
