Hi, I just subscribed. What a beautiful place and the shells are all stunning. 😍 I do like big old worn shells too. They have character. I'm sitting in cold Germany wishing I could swim where you are and go shell hunting. 😅 We don't have any shells on our beaches on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is about an hours drive from where we live. The beach is small and stoney here too. It is lovely to see your beautiful beaches and the whole scenery. Thank you for sharing and giving us info about what shells eat, etc. There is just one thing I think would be great. If you could lay out all the shells at the end so that we can see the whole collection after each day. Its nuce to see them all together and quickly run through the names again. It is truly shell gem heaven over there. The snorkeling and turtle at the end was amazing. Waving from Germany. Ciao 👋👋👍💖🐚🐠

Wow this is so informative! I found a lot of these shells during my visit so it’s cool knowing the names!

[@kathy_beauty1955]

If it's A cone, leave it alone!! Lol

Best Shelling channel🐚 ever! Your talented, informative and considerate. Looking forward to more videos soon!

[@user-ht2iv7rz5r]

No other sheller can find such a wide range of shells in each beach run. And know each shell species!

[@user-ht2iv7rz5r]

Been having the hardest time finding shells in Galveston TX. With your talents, would you consider shelling there? (if you haven't already)

[@elliesseagems]

Wow, thank you so much for your comments!! 💚

[@elliesseagems]

I have shelled in Galveston before, and haven’t had the best of luck. It’s pretty sparse there for shelling. I’ve had better luck at western end of padre island national seashore. The Texas coast isn’t the best for shelling, but it can be done! 🐚

​@user-ht2iv7rz5r I just got back from Galveston, Texas. The shelling is not very good in Galveston. Have you ever taken the ferry over to Bolivar Peninsula? 30 miles up the road from the ferry, you can find nice shells. It's called High Island Beach. The beaches soon before High Island have shells too. Good luck searching for shells in Texas. I hope you find some great shells.

Really love your channel!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@Word_For_Word]

I absolutely love the information!!! Thankyou so much, cannot like this channel enough

[@dianesalvato3078]

Lovely video! I was happy to see what a sunrise shell looks like. You really scored! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@gingerelver70]

I was there 10 days ago. Takes lots of looking. I never did find one of those black spotted shells. Did find some pieces.

[@annecole371]

Loved this video! Can’t believe you found 3 sunrise shells. I recently went shelling on Maui and found a lot of these shells. It’s great to now put a name to the shells. Aloha!

[@trudymcewen9801]

Nice Sunrise seashells can be expensively to buy.

[@susanbaird49]

This is definitely one of the best shelling videos. I'm subscribing. My husband and I just went to Oahu in November. I was able to find some shells. What time of the year would you say is the best for finding shells in Hawaii? I would love to go shelling on Kauai. Which beach had the rocks?

[@heidicook4030]

Just Subbed! Have a new item on my bucket list!

[@nellyjune9828]

Whoaaaaa,those cones soooo bigggg

[@lindayoder7461]

I loved the video! I am curious whether anybody gave you a hard time about collecting shells there. I have read that you’re not really supposed to remove anything from the island, including lava rock, sand, or shells. We are going there soon and I would love to take a shell home but don’t want to get reprimanded!

[@janetbergquist9454]

I so enjoyed this video!! You have a new subscriber....

[@amytaylor3382]

Hi Ellie, this the best Hawaiian shelling video I have seen. The info on the shells and the amount is amazing! I go to Maui to snorkel for shells I have had some luck but nothing like you found on Kauai. I am going to be on Kauai in May and would love to know a few beaches you liked. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful shelling experience 🤩

[@elliesseagems]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I always wanted to snorkel in Maui for shells, I've heard there's a lot there. It took me about 3 months to find everything that's in the video on Kauai. Here are some of the beaches that I loved: Polihale state park (specifically queens pond- beach across from monkeypod tree- sunrise shell heaven early in the morning; and the rocks past the sand beach at the end of the park) Beach near makauwahi cave reserve Anahola beach via ailomanu beach parking Beach behind Napali art gallery and coffee house & walk to tunnels beach

[@ToolFan68]

@@elliesseagems You are a gem. I never thought you would answer this well. THANK YOU! I'll check out your shop!

[@MaberebryxVlog]

What beach did you find the sunrise shells. We were in kauai for 6 days and did not find any 😩

[@sherrydonoghue2337]

Please , where is this beach?

[@lilianmcguigan9240]

The brown shell in the middle looked like an olive.

[@chrystal379]

Love your channel! Was wondering if you always go at sunrise or can you find just as many shells during other times in the day?

[@elliesseagems]

Thank you! I go at sunrise to try to find sunrise shells- they're often picked up by other people if you go later in the day. But other than sunrise shells, the best time for beachcombing is generally an hour or so before low tide

[@chrystal379]

Thank you! Will keep that in mind :)@@elliesseagems

[@lindseychamness8168]

such great finds! I'm here visiting family in Kauai, which beaches did you go to?

[@elliesseagems]

Polihale state park (specifically queens pond- beach across from monkeypod tree; and the rocks past the sand beach) Beach near makauwahi cave reserve Anahola beach via ailomanu beach parking Beach behind Napali art gallery and coffee house & walk to tunnels beach

[@elliesseagems]

Best of luck! 🐚

[@chrystal379]

If you could only pick 3 of those spots which ones would you recommend? I’m going to Kauai in June and only have 3 days 🥲 Thank you!

[@coreensmith6965]

Nice video and informative, but the background music should be turned down. Cannot hear you through some of this.
