Exploring an island of seashells is as much fun as it sounds. I live in Southwest Florida where the shells are plentiful and the weather is awesome. Living in paradise allows me to share my weekly beach walks, which to me feel more like exploring because I'm always on the hunt for the next fun treasure!

One of my favorite shells to look for on Kice is Gaudy Nauticas and you always find some of the most colorful ones. I squealed at that big one you found. OK it's been 2 mths since my Kice trip and you gave me the fever again. Unfortunately I have to wait till next year. Until then, I will just "drool" over what you find. Have a great week!

Dear Sharmon, What a lovely day to spend at the beach searching for shells. That sunrise was so beautiful. Seeing the beach lit up in that orange glow. That's priceless! And the shells! Girl, what a great haul of beauties!❤ A wentletrap on Kice? I think it's the first one you ever found there. And that gorgeous pink banded tulip, and of course that huge apple murex. Kice was soo good for you! And you did very well not taking all the FFC's with you. It must have been very difficult to leave so many behind. But the one you took home are stunning! I really like that zigzag one. Almost a juvenile in adult size. All in all so many stunning shells! And of course the dolphins! 😍 Thank you so, so much from the bottom of my heart for taking us with you on your adventures. ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful week, filled with warmth, sunshine and amazing shells! Sending you a big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤, Ilona

The cold fronts are not fun as I don't like the cold, but I sure like the shells so I'll take what I get! Hugs and sunshine to you Ilona! ❤️

Oh, dear Beach Angel, this is really going to be a great day! I can barely contain my curiosity, wanting to see what you've found! Ooh, that apple murex is simply delicious! It has so many bumps and nooks to catch the sun's rays! Wow! Now, 'fess up, Sharmon, did you sprinkle miracle grow plant food up and down the beach before you started the video? Those large shells are really unusual and so plentiful! Not to mention beautiful! You're gonna have to get a larger display case for all these specimen shells! Okay, I may be a mermaid, but even we dwellers of the deep get a little jealous now and then and this is definitely my day to have my brown eyes turn a definite shade of emerald! That fighting conch would charm the heart of Neptune himself and that big colorful moon snail is a real prize winner! You know me well enough, dear girl, to see past my slight moments of weakness, but if there ever was a day for jealousy, this would be it! You have been very greatly blessed by the Lord of the Sea on this lovely autumn day and I am so glad for you! I think I wouldn't be surprised if you found the Golden Fleece today! You may think I'm fooling, but as I typed those words, you pulled that golden calico scallop from the waves! WAY Cool! I'm so proud and grateful for all the junk you've cleared off the area beaches, as well as the broken glass which is so dangerous to wildlife and tourists' tender bare feet! I remember having to carry my kid sister about a mile when she stepped on the sharp-edged lid of a tuna can on the beach. Poor kid needed stitches, I believe. Thank you for lugging that garbage to its rightful place, in the garbage can! Now, my loves, I can finally surrender to sleep and dream of a beach littered with all the beautiful treasures of the sea! Thanks to this joy-filled time spent watching our dear Sharmon finding such jewels of the sea, I can rest very peacefully tonight. Here's hoping that each of you will find your own peace in dreams of lovely seashells and with the murmur of the waves echoing through your hours of rest. Much love to all my fellow shell lovers and, of course, my best love to you, my own Beach Angel Friend. May you have a wonderful week and meet me again on the next video where we'll share in another shelling adventure. 🧜🐚 ❤ Rebecca, The Lost Mermaid

Lol but there’s always something new on the beach. You can go to the exact same one over and over again and you find something different every time. I love beach combing. But I enjoy your videos so much and all you teach us! I like identifying the shells we find now too! Thank you so much for your amazing content!❤️🐚🌊☀️

Those moon snails are one of my faves. What are the snails that are eaten as escargot and where do you find them?

I'm not sure what kind of snails are used for escargot. I bet there are probably a few.

Curious - What happens if you spot a fabulous shell during the ‘beach time’? ❤

As soon as I turn the camera off I backtrack! If it's THAT good, I stop right away and re-record beach time 🤣

Hey Sharmon....what a lovely shelling journey with so many treasures. I went nuts over that fighting conch that had the colors of fudge ripple ice cream. If I get to come to Florida, I'm going to have to have a shell bag for just fighting conchs and another for everything else! I also really enjoyed that bright orange - yellow calico scallop. (Oh yes, I'll also need a bag dedicated to bivalves)! The true tulips were very beautiful too. I must confess I struggle with lust when you find those gaudy nauticas. I can't even find those in shell shops on the coast out here in the west. Well, my friend, have a wonderful week and thanks for sharing.

I would bring an extra bag and pick up Fighting Conchs when you're about ready to leave the beach. I was telling another couple about how I carried my bag of FFCs off Tigertail once like I was carrying a sleeping 4 year old. The bag was easily as heavy as a toddler! 🤣

I would love to know your opinion on which island you think is the best to find driftwood that we can put in our two year old landscaping? We haven't gone shelling yet that we take a boat, but that's on our list for next year. Love your shows!

Oh shoot - I don't really hunt out driftwood because I don't see it that much. I did see someone with some pieces coming off a shell tour to Dickman's Island and Kice Island. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Ooh, was the crown conch at 18:53 in good shape? I know you don’t have time to show every shell you take. But I have to tell you, every time I watch I vacillate between being so happy for what you are finding and wishing myself down there. Haha, one day.

There's nothing like finding these treasures for yourself! I went to the beach on Saturday telling myself I wasn't going to collect any shells but that lasted about 10 minutes before I was busy picking up shells. It's just so fun!

Wonderful finds! I just got home from a trip to the beach in South Carolina. I did pretty good identifying the shells that I found though they were scarce and so many broken ones. It prompted a question or two. 1. Can you tell us the difference between kitten paws, lion paws and even oyster shells that look like paws. Are lion paws really oysters? 2. I also found jingles of different colors. Gray, light almost white and a pretty peachy orange. Some were more domed looking not as flat. I was wondering if those were really jingles. I found 3 baby ears amazingly. I was amazed they were not all broken as most shells were pretty beat up. One had a chip out of one side. I also saw a little boy so tickled to show me the shell he found. He found the only lettered olive I saw on the beach the whole week. There were many broken pieces of them but he was blessed to find a whole one of good size. It was fun to encourage him in his hunt and tell him what the shell was! Thanks for taking us along on your beach trips. The colder the weather the more glorious your beach trips become!

Lion Paws are a type of scallop, so they are not oysters, but I know exactly what you are talking about with oysters, and the kitten/lion paws. I will make a short about it in the future. I too find domed jingles and don't know what the heck. It's the same jingle material, just a little tiny bowl shape. I assume it's just a different shaped jingle but I do not know for certain. And that a is so wild to me that other places have a multitude of really desirable shells. I'd like to shell the Carolinas for baby ears and knobbed whelks!
