Melbourne Beach

Let’s walk Melbourne Beach on Florida’s east coast 2 miles north of Sebastian Inlet. I find a HUGE pear whelk shell-my largest to date, a nice chunky piece of olive green sea glass and other beautiful shells. We’ll also talk a little bit about Titan Acorn Barnacles. Virtual Shelling at Melbourne Beach! Let's go!!

I've been to Melbourne Beach. It's one of my favorite beaches. ❤ just blessed to be able to shell on a daily basis.

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Hi from Virginia Beach. Wow that pear whelk was a stunner and my eyes were so pleased in all the colors , the green mussel is so beautiful and those scallops stand for themselves. Great fun moment I bet the kids loved the late afternoon on the beach. Thankyou for sharing.

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Hello! Thank you so much for watching. Crazy pretty pear right!? 😊 Yes, my kids really enjoy the beach especially my son…he has ADHD and it’s such a good outlet for him ❤

[@janetpullen5210]

What a day! The pear whelk is gorgeous! And all the sea glass!! You don’t find glass that often…..great walk Would be nice to be there

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Oh that was one of my best chunks of sea glass I have found - so special! Thx for watching.

Hello Roxanne, glad to see you made it to another east coast Florida beach. A little info for you. The quahog without the purple (wampum) colour is a southern one, the ones with the purple/wampum colour are northern quahogs. There are many things that are done with the colourful ones. Blessings

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Thanks for the info and watching; I'll make a note of that in my shelling book! Yeah I was reading about a tribe that still uses wampum for beads...so creative ❤️ Blessings always!

This is my first time watching your channel, and I enjoyed it very much! Very relaxing, and you have beautiful hands. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Awww thx for watching and subscribing! Thank you for the encouragement and compliment-I think the opposite wishing my hands were a little bit slimmer…but oh well, very blessed God has provided me with 2 hands that work 100% 👍🏼

2 Paul Newman Shark Eyes! Sweet!

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Thx for confirming those. I wasn’t sure if those shark eyes were “blue” enough to be considered “Paul Newmans” or not 👍🏼 Thank you for watching. -Roxann

Hello from California! I love shelling here on the CA coast but we don't have anything near to what Florida has. I want to come there so bad. Thanks for sharing

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

I hope you have the chance one day. All over Florida is nice for shelling, each ocean front area/county has it's own array of shells to find. Happy shelling in CA...that sounds awesome!

[@MrFind-pv3zs]

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Hey, I’m in Melbourne Beach too! North of the inlet but south of Melbourne Beach proper. New subscriber here!

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Oh hello! That’s awesome 😎 Thank you for watching and subscribing- I really appreciate it!

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Could the mystery shell be a Burnt Edge Rock Snail? I just watched Sand and Coffee rocks video Finding Seashells at Hervey Bay from today and at about the 10.30 mark she finds a shell that could be like the worn shell you found. Just a guess. I'm a new subscriber and thank you for sharing your shelling.

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Thx I having viewed her video from today yet but I sure will (I LOVE her channel). Thx for a name I'll look into it 👍🏼 Thank you SO much for subscribing--I really appreciate that and thx for watching!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

Haha, calling those waves “rough” made me chuckle. The open beaches here are at least several times that rough and choppy on an average day 😅 still, they bring the shells ashore, so what else can you ask for? Loved the Pear Whelk and Green Mussel.

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

😂 I should have been more clear lol. I was comparing our east coast and west coast of “Florida”. The west coast is typically very calm and the east coast is rougher. I’ve seen it raging after hurricanes so I can only imagine what you see over your way. Such powerful waters! Thx for watching 😊

[@trudymcewen9801]

​@@FloridaBeachWalksHello, I do not know if you know Sand and Coffee Rocks Maddie. She is in Australia. She has 2 videos weekly. Just saw your video. She and I are good friends. Keep up the good work. Never heard if your beach. Trudy in PA. I am a collector of rare, exotic, International seashells. I have lots of Florida shells too.

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

@@trudymcewen9801 Hello Trudy! Thanks so much for watching. I don't know Maddie personally but have been really enjoying her videos for the past couple months after happening upon them here on KZbin and have been chatting time to time on video posts w/her. I really enjoy her content and have dreams of one day going to Australia to shell! All her finds are so amazing and I love all the cowries--incredible! I've been enjoying Shellcade Shelling Down Under's channel as well in Australia. Happy collecting Trudy 😀
