Boca Grande, Florida - strong winds and waves at the beach

SW Florida woke up to 76 degrees. The area has had off and on rain during the past few days. The winds at the beach are strong today. At times the sand would blow against you, which can sting for sure. The wind can blow your hat off if not on tight. The waves are strong and can knock you down if you are not careful. People were enjoying the water today as well as the sunshine.
The beach is always a peaceful place to sit back and enjoy what nature has to offer.
Within the video, enjoy the times I bring the ocean sounds from the island to you and the beautiful scenery and I hope it brings your heart peace today.
I hope you enjoyed this video, if so, please like so that more will see these videos. Also, share this channel with others. Thanks for watching.

We went to the Seawall Beach just to check it out yesterday afternoon (Sunday). The erosion was so much worse than it’s ever been!! The drop off was very steep!! I looked myself, and there were some shells, but mostly broken and black and white arc shells! I shell for my business. I can usually fill a painter’s bucket in just about 3 hours!! I’m going to call the Chamber of Commerce on Boca to see if they are going to repair that section of the beach! We also checked out the 17th Street beach. It had quite a few shells along the rack line! There was also a tide pool, but I didn’t check it for shells.

Looking for shells always seems, I guess, to be hit and miss. One day a lot, the next day none. Thanks for the information on the shells you spotted. Hopefully you get some information when you make that call. Boca has such a beautiful beach, just like a piece of paradise.

Thanks for sharing this video! We always go to the Seawall Beach, which is right in front of the South Beach restaurant that has been rebuilt! I’m a big sheller! The last time we were at the beach, the erosion was horrible, and there were virtually no shells!! If you went that far down, can you tell me if there were many shells? I would usually bring home a painter’s bucket full of shells, but lately, I’ve only been able to find about a quarter of a bucket. It’s so sad how much erosion has happened!! From what one of the Park rangers told me, Boca doesn’t replace the sand! I can’t imagine how the beach will recover unless they bring in more sand! Thanks again!! Diana Kirchhoff

Yes, there were shells at the end of the island. If you watch the sunset video I recently posted that was taken at the end of the island you will get an idea of the amount. Thank you for watching.
