Hi Brian! As always you have taken us on a gorgeous beachy adventure! Your videos are so well done, can't help but feel like I am there. Beautiful Island. Can't imagine what it would feel like to go to sleep to that sound of the waves lapping and waking up to the same. Incredible and the shells were amazing, especially the nutmegs, scallops and the live creatures. Love the way you talk to the live ones and gently place them back, such a sweet nature you have!! Thanks for the video, Loved it! Have a great week!

I LOVVE to camp when I can in Florida. IMO, it's simply the best way to wake up with the ocean right at your doorstep. Thank you so much for watching 💙🐚

I didnt realize one could actually camp on the beach like that. Pretty cool. That shadow picture was a double take for me, half in half out of the water, lol!! I noticed there werent any kitten/lion paws. R those in another area, perhaps? Or seasonal mabe? I gotta say the shells u kept were sweet❣ you got thoughtfull humor too, ☺😀. Yes, lets not interrupt brkfast, hehe. Most important meal of the day. Thankyou for this wonderfull half hr❣🥰 = Hugs

I come from a family of 9 kids and every summer we would go camping on the beach at Tin Can Beach; later cleaned up and renamed Bolsa Chica State Beach...all Hunrtington Beach in SoCal and would come home with a major haul of seashells. Mostly quocinas and scallops and a few sand dollars. I never really learned the names of the shells and never really cared until I started watching your vids...I have learned alot and try to name the shells on your vids before you and feel proud that I named each one correctly..most of the time...lol! Loved this video and thanx for letting me tag along...in 4K, of course...!!!!☺

What a great video, Brian! I'm going to have to check it out! BTW it's good you came to Honeymoon Island when you did. It has slowly become 2 islands since Idalia. Unless it's a negative low tide, you have to walk through water to get to the north end!😢

There are a few ways you can get to Shell Key. In this video, I took the shuttle out of Hubbard's Marina, but you can also take the Shell Key Shuttle from Pass a Grille. You can also hire a private charter, or take your own boat. There's another Shell Key episode coming sometime in the near future - stay tuned!
