Guys, I finally found a giant shell! It is a lightning whelk and not a giant horse conch, but you won't find me complaining! I had to check out a beach in Captiva where I paid $40 to park just to see why this lot was so expensive. There is no catch, it's just that expensive. There is no other parking in this area on Captiva, so I guess if you really want to go there and not walk too far, this lot is one of your only options.
After getting over the sticker shock and getting onto the beach, I thought I was going to have a few very expensive shells but the tide started bringing shells onto the beach and a giant whelk washed up that I wasn't going to leave behind! I found all sorts of really quite awesome shells and it was one of the most fun days I've had shelling in 2020. I don't know why finding a giant shell is so much more fun than finding the smaller guys - but it is!
I've been sea shell hunting for over a year now and had yet to find a giant shell to share in one of my videos, but the wait is over! At least now I can scratch "Finding a giant shell" off my list. There are still plenty of shells I still haven't found myself, so I'm still having a ton of fun going to the beach every weekend and sharing all the treasures I find.

"Walking" the beach with you is such a treat! Your voice is as soothing as the waves and the excitement of each found treasure brings me a deeper desire to hunt for more. That whelk is amazing. I always called the large ones conchs but recently found out the difference. Keep teaching us...You inspire me!

It's people like you that makes this so worthwhile!

I am disabled now, and I cannot walk on the beach anymore. So these videos do serve as a way to try to enjoy the beach and water and her cool finds. I miss it myself. I love the sound of feet crunching on the rocks and sand, and water and bird sounds. (Sigh)

Wow, that town is really saying "Welcome" but is also saying "Stay Away, We Don't Want You Here". So many pretty shells and I always love how you lay them all out at the end of your videos. It's nice to see the real comparison of size and color when they are all laid out.

What? I must have walked up and down that beach a bazillion times and I almost never find big whelks there. You're lucky too! Yay us!

I live in Ca but kids moved to Fla. last 2022 so have been to a few beaches but not shelling. When I was young you could find shells all over the Beach not so much these days so I am so looking forward to walking the beach and finding shells it is so relaxing.

What a wonderful day you had! I’m thinking about spend a day in Captiva, I really love what you found! $40 very well spent! Thank you for sharing, I love your videos! I watch every single day before sleep, it’s so inspiring!😊

Keep Turner Beach in mind. It’s very South Captiva but the parking is $5 an hour so depending on how long you were going to stay it’s an option. Good shelling luck!

Sarcasm and humor I provide free of charge :) That whelk was so fun to find! And so many other fantastic shells - it was a lot of fun. Expensive (especially once you add in the $6 toll) but really fun!
