Staying warm in winter with a beach walk. Finding beach treasures in Florida on a winter morning.

Staying warm in winter with a beach walk may seem counterintuitive, however it really is warm enough to explore the beaches down here so warm up your cocoa or coffee (or grab a brandy) and let's visit the beach and see what is out there today.

Thank you for speaking up and saving that animal. ❤ Soon after I moved down here, my partner and I came across a grown man kicking around a calico crab on the beach. I went after him in a rage and told him exactly why what he was doing was terribly wrong. He didn't care one bit, but it hurts my heart to see people so willing to hurt or kill these innocent animals.

[@clarebeelman9691]

It's not only unethical, it's illegal to harass or kill that species. Isn't it?

You can't fix stupid. Or mean I suppose. That would have been so upsetting. I think most people are just uneducated. It's fine time I made a video to let them know shells come from animals!! Sorry you had such a horrible beach experience with that @#$*#@&%@#. ❤️

Update on our Brody who had a cancerous tumor removed from his leg…we will be starting radiation therapy tomorrow and will continue daily M-F for the next two weeks. The Radiation Oncologist has run several tests for confirmation on the cancer type, drew more blood chemistry, did chest Xrays and an abdominal ultrasound to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread. It’s all came back negative! Thank you to all who have sent up prayers for our fur baby! Without medical insurance we wouldn’t have been able to even think about this. Have a wonderful week everyone!

[@miriammacdermot5601]

Hi Sharmon! Thank you for this lovely video. I was stunned by most of those shells you found. That yellow sunray venus clam was incredible as was the giant horse conch and quahog. That one fighting conch with the zigzags on the knobs was so beautiful. I was wishing so much that I could have been walking with you on that beautiful beach. Yes, I'm one of the ones who got snow and ice this last week. I'd go snorkeling with you if I could. My dear late sister Leilani taught me how to snorkel when I was visiting her in Hawaii. So many beautiful fish and other wonders to see under there. God bless you and have a great week, my friend.

[@SWFBeachLife]

I have only been snorkeling a few times since I've moved here and while I never am chomping to get in the water, once I'm there I don't want to leave! Snorkeling at the Dry Tortugas was awesome! I got to see some live things that I've only ever seen dead on the beach.

[@saraclark8611]

Well that was a fantastic day at the beach for sure! Soooo many treasures’ that sun ray Venus is a gorgeous find and yep wow beautiful shark eye!! Woot woot! I have to say it is appalling how some people treat live creatures. When I visited fort Myers at the end of August I had a run in with a gentleman who decided to throw the biggest crown I had ever see like it was a baseball. Literally brought tears to my eyes and boy did that guy get it from me. The next day at low tide I happened to run across said crown conch and he was still alive and well, I walked him out as far as I could. So anyway I hear what you are saying and how frustrating and sad it can be. It’s awesome you take time in every video to stress leaving live critters at the beach 💕

[@SWFBeachLife]

I'm glad to hear that crown conch survived. It is SO upsetting to see ignorant people abusing sea creatures. I hope I can find time this week to make that "educational" video to help my sea critters!

I just returned to the Boston area after spending 3 glorious weeks in SW Florida. Can't get enough of the beaches and all that can be found there. This trip, I converted my almost 80 year-old father into a beach walker. Armed with a sand scooper that sometimes acted as a walking stick, he and I traversed a few miles of FMB beach together. He loves moon snails (he has a good collection already!) and can't seem to find his way past slipper snails!

Wow! A golden sunray! That's one I haven't seen. Very cool! There were a bunch of hinged spinies there! Darling little true! That was a nice big shark eye. Happy for you! As far as live shells, some days I feel like the beach police. Floridians have no excuse; visitors sometimes just don't know. And then there have been the "harvesters" looking specifically for live stuff to cook/eat. Fortunately I haven't seen as much of that lately, but after storms, I'm always on the lookout for them. You scored big again, girl at FMB! xxoo

[@SWFBeachLife]

Harvesters? Oh that would drive me up a wall. There have been some comments about people that have had pretty nasty experiences with people at the beach. I think a majority are clueless.

One Frorida fighting conk but it had a critter in it, bummer. There was absolutely nothing!! I was so hoping for a beautiful calico scallop or juvenile Fl. fighting con, but just nothing. I found one crown conk, and about four olives that looked like they were made of cement because they were so rough, no shine. I did enjoy you finding that shark eye, wow!! .

And when I go to Kice, I always say: “I’m gonna take a huge quahog” then I pick one up and nah

Thank you for watching all the way from Brazil!

The brown shell you couldn't identify looks related to the banded wedge maybe.

Holy cow! Some beautiful finds today, and thanks for “trying” to educate that woman, sometimes they just don’t care😢 but karma finds a way to give back..oh yeah, I found a channel, “inlet Boy”. He goes to the Channel Islands in South Carolina, and I swear to you he found what I think was an apple murex that was the size of his hand! And the whelks he finds are ginormous as well! Really fun to watch the different shells up there. Anyway, thought you might enjoy it..🥰

[@SWFBeachLife]

Thanks so much! I am always trying to find other shelling channels that I can learn something from. Thank you!

Shark-eye ! Lol 🎉

That moon snail is gorgeous! It reminded me of the one that the other sheller (who also found a junonia) found when you were on Sanibel after a storm. And now you have your behemoth! Excellent!

Great video once again, Sharmon! I think I saw some coffee grounds around 19:00🤔🤔. Just love how you describe things! And so, I have a new name for your band: Big trap and her little weirdos!!!😂😂😂

[@SWFBeachLife]

OMG that's me! Big trap and her little weirdos! I love it!! ❤️
