Sanibel Island beach walk. Seashells as far as the eye can see!

Come with me on a Sanibel Island beach walk and see what goodies will be on the beach today. The shells was good, but then the wind picked up and the shells were just rolling in! The digging out of the stranded boat probably helped. Any way you slide it - Sanibel was once again incredible!

Loving these beach walks....so educational and soothing at the same time.

[@lydiamashcka4362]

The conchs are so adorable when they look at you. I live in San Diego and we have Blue Belly lizards and they are so charming. They run around and chase each other and eat bugs and do pushups, they are endlessly entertaining.

[@SWFBeachLife]

We have adorable little lizards here too! However they do not usually hang out on the beach. That being said my husband and I found one quite far away from fresh water and we gave him about a mile ride to safety. I love all these beach critters!

[@SnowPink90]

That was a great shelling time on my favourite beach!! I’ve never been but have wanted to go since watching your videos. Soooo many great finds!! I love the huge Atlantic Cockle because I love hearts and I’d keep it together and stand it up with my other shells. Loved our beach time and makes me so look forward to shelling soon!! Have a great week and can’t wait for part 2!!🥰🐬

The coned shaped shells... "the critters" living inside, as they grow they look for abandoned shells from others like them. So that's actually real estate for the sea life.

[@asianseaanimals]

Nice found

[@jeffpepple3354]

It's very sad to see all the homes and condos damaged and empty because of Ian, but the beaches are looking great! And boy were they full of shells! Just curious, did you go early in the morning? I was surprised there weren't more people on the beach. Although I wish it would have been you that found that elusive Junonia, I'm glad you were able to view it from the fellow shell searcher. Thank you for another marvelous video! We hope to see you on the beach when we are there soon!

[@SWFBeachLife]

I prefer to go in the morning and be the first one on the beach so when the tides cooperate I try to go at low tide in the morning. I feel so guilty having so much of beautiful Sanibel to myself!

[@deborahgaylord7098]

Hi Sharmon. I am new to your weekly show and I am glad a transplant Floridian takes care of the natural resources that we have here. I enjoy your show. I left the gulf coast 5 decades ago, and have spent these years on the east coast. The waves are bigger here, and the shells are less. Seeing the shores of Sanibel was shocking for me, very sad. We would visit by boat, I do not remember a bridge, or roads or any housing. The beaches were so deep with shells that we would sink past our ankles in shells trying to walk the anchor line to shore to secure our dads' small boat. There were trees and scrub, all replaced by condos. I had always .meant to go back, now I know that I will not. Rather keep my black and white photos, and my memories of the magical shell island undisturbed.

[@SWFBeachLife]

It must have been amazing to see the island back then, but I will tell you the residents have really protected the island and more than half of it is preserved for nature. It's still a very special island. I'm sure nothing like it was when you visited as a kid but still a lovely place that will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

[@donnajohnson3334]

Think I know the feeling. My family annually took my brother and I camping in S.W Missouri to fish. My Dad had a jonboat and a rebuilt motorcycle and mini bike he got going. We had such good times riding in the boat, nature walks and hobo dinners by the campfire !. Then the Corps of Engineers flooded the whole area; the Indian points, covered bridge remains, wildlife, fossils and all, gone. My parents too. I haven't been back in ages,-- couldn't find my way on the new paved roads. The old one room school and persimmon trees, all gone under deep, murky water. Only wish we had taken more pictures !. P. S. I don't go anywhere since disability, but you bet, my heart and mind leave home every day, lol!.🐚💖

[@geraldineficarelli8626]

Wow what a shame the Junonia is not yours ....I think it will come soon 😊

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

Hello Beach Angel! I loved Sanibel when I was there as a teenager. I remember that there were so many shells that when the waves rushed in, the shells tumbled over each other and sounded like those wind chimes they sell at the souvenir shops. I scooped up a rucksack full of them and ran, dripping water all the way, back to the car of the person who brought me to the island. I made trinkets for years on the strength of that rucksack full of shells! Oh, I like the buttercup lucines! They look like the sun shining on the water at sunrise. If there were no shells, I know that the sea itself would call me home. Pretty, pretty lightning whelks! Oh, what a pretty scallop! Gorgeous color! I can tell that I'm going to wear out my exclamation point on this trip! Beautiful carditas! The true tulip isn't as "hippy" as the banded tulip, being narrower. Lovely coloring the pear whelk. Ahhh. Beach Time! The waves are perfect today, just right to soothe a lost mermaid's soul. Thank you, my friend. Nice paper fig! Glad it made it intact! That's an awfully lacy apple murex! Makes you wonder if there's a hybrid or a new subspecies. Ha! That eight foot distance to a Florida Fighting Conch is about three football fields! It's all relative. You are spoiled by all the treasure, darling Angel, and able to pick and choose. Don't ever apologize for the riches that the sea tosses at your feet! Yes, do remember that you are fortunate to be nearly alone on the beach. In a few weeks, maybe not so much. That's a pretty little apple murex! I haven't seen that many hinged lucines in forever! May be the after effects of the red tide that was prevalent a few weeks back. I think they're filter feeders. Oh, another quahog! Wonderful! I didn't know crown conchs came in brown! Beautiful! That orange and white Fighting Conch makes me think of a creamsicle! Do you know why the left opening shells are called "sinistral?" I was told it's because left handed people were considered to be bad or sinister, so shells that opened on the left were called sinistral after us southpaws! That is definitely a vertebral bone, very possibly from a bottle nosed dolphin. Note the height of the dorsal plate on the bone, providing strong muscular attachment. I may be wrong, but my study of marine mammals would indicate that. You should take it to class and verify the identity of the bone's former owner. There is something beautiful in its form. I like it a bunch! Before you keep it or sell it, you'd better make sure it didn't belong to a protected species. No sense paying a fine for a bone! More lucines and a paper fig! You're doing very well today, girl! A wonderful shark eye and, wonder of wonders, a Junonia! Remember the old adage, "where there's one, there may be another!" Oh, a hinged Atlantic cockle, how fun! That would make a nice jewelry box if you glue three or four little shells on one shell to make it stand still. Even if the hinge breaks in time, it can still be closed and opened. I'd buy it! It would be a great place to keep your pearls! Oh, you're going to tease us with hints about next week! I can hardly wait, but I feel that way about all your videos! Until then, Beach Angel, take good care of yourself and keeping shelling! Hi to all the other folks who love SWF Beach Life. So glad you're here, too! Much love from the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee! Rebecca, The Lost Mermaid

[@SWFBeachLife]

I was curious about your question regarding dextral and sinistral so I looked it up. Allegedly sinistral is from the latin for "left" so I looked up left and you are right in the sense that left is "sinistra" but I also found "sinister" in the definitions as well. I think it might very well be from things that were different/sinister. And now that difference makes it so special 🥰
