Searching for Seashells at low tide. Marco Island seashell hunt at my not-so-secret shelling spot.

I can't go to the beach without searching for seashells. I tend to walk around with my head down, searching for those beautiful treasures. Seashells memorize me and I couldn't tell you a conch from a tulip a few years ago. Now I really enjoy finding familiar treasures and searching for new-to-me ones! #ASMR #Shelling #swfbeachlife

[@rebeccagrimes9552]

Back at the end of June, my husband, myself and our kids vacationed there in Marco Island…we stayed in a condo at the Apollo, right by those jettys! My son and I did a beach walk every morning we were there and went down to the jettys, but unfortunately we didn’t make it to this special spot, (I think the negative low tide was after dark each night and we just couldn’t go)…So after that trip and seeing all of your videos at Marco, it has developed into a special place for me! I hope to make it back one day soon! Thanks for sharing!

[@SWFBeachLife]

I hope you are able to make it back to hunt for more treasures! 🌴🌊🐚

[@ronaldkern5567]

The little Hermit Crabs were funny but that big Red Hermit Crab was awesome. You are right about needing a big strong crab to carry around the Florida Fighting Conch shell, they are substantial. Loved the dolphins playing so close to shore for the beach time. Seeing the dolphins, pelicans, herons and hermit crabs all acting normal shows nature's resilience after a cataclysmic event. I believe that Sanibel will do their best to maintain their charm and limit the size of new buildings. We've stayed in some small boutique hotels on the beach there and the atmosphere is so much more enjoyable than a huge resort. Hopefully Ft Meyers Beach will do the same.

[@SWFBeachLife]

I think Sanibel will stand strong and it will remain the quaint island it always has been but I think FMB is going to be a mix. I know people want to keep that small town charm but money talks and if people lost everything I can't blame them for selling. It will be what it will be I guess. I just hope the shells keep showing up for years to come!

Merry Christmas to the Beach Angel and all her shell cherubs! May the New Year bring us all a more peaceful and prosperous 2023! Congratulations on the surprise wentletrap! You're having a pretty nice day after all! I know what you mean about the thrill of the hunt, as I spent the summers of my youth hunched over a sluice looking for rubies in Western NC. Another rose murex for you! And then another! How wonderful! I'm almost sinning here, as envy is nibbling at my soul. It's been so very long since I saw the sea for myself! I'm getting better slowly, though I took a hard fall and injured the knee that was replaced twenty years ago. It's giving me some trouble and may drive me to go to my orthopedic surgeon, who is going to fuss at me. I'm resting it as much as I can and letting my husband do the housework. I think that's fair, since it was his feet I tripped over. Why he decided to stick them in front of my walking feet, I don't know. Anyway, I don't have anything else to convey except my joy at seeing you happy again, finding shells and enjoying the islands. Love to you and the Gulf of Mexico! The Lost Mermaid

[@Kaemea]

Oh my! I do hope your knee is okay! Prayers ascending for just a bruise and not a new replacement! I love the void in your profile picture. Very gorgeous. I have two Creamsicles, boys full of mischief, and a grumpy old lady standard issue cat (brown tabby) named Mimi. The boys are Cheddar and Cheese. Again, prayers for your knee and any other problems going on. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May we all shell in 2023!!

My 70 year old mother and my 2 girls ages 12 and 8 are with me and we went shelling yesterday. Thank you so much for all the info and names you have taught us!

So spoiled after that hurricane lol. I got an abundance of calico clams, and if I wanted something special I had to REALLY hunt in the rocks and reefs. Got lucky with some olives, and a whelk I’ve never seen before. But wow, I was a little bummed 😫 or a lot bummed. I think us shellers can relate to that feeling haha

The scallops remind me of the old hand fans that my mother would use in church. Great video ❤

Merry Christmas! So many beautiful shells. I’m so glad you found some bucket list shells. Thank you for sharing!!😊

So before we left I took all the shells I didn’t want to tote home (from kice) and left them in a pile on the beach in front of the Hotel and LOVED watching them be discovered by others.
