She didn't make it down here to Florida with us, but I'm always thinking of those that might not be as mobile and I am, and believe me, I am so beyond grateful that I am able to walk and get to the beaches I do. I know not everyone has the same luxury. I will continue to share my beach walks and I hope you come along with me! XOXO

You have given me a new "Bucket List" shell! I'm in love with the Thorny Oysters, and the Leafy Jewel box, so very pretty! I can't believe how different the West coast is from the East coast, so interesting. Thank you for taking us along on your road trip!

@@SWFBeachLife …Last fall, I bought a leafy jewelbox from a seashell business in the Philippines, they called it a “chama” and it’s a pretty yellow like that. Another one I really wanted from him was one just like you found, but it was over $60 and he wasn’t budging on the price-it was still smaller than yours! I am from PA and it’s hard to get to FL, but I’m thrilled to find out we have them here, too! If I ever make it down to that beach and find one, I’ll be thrilled. It was super fun to go shelling with you and watch you find that one and the other fun ones-the thorny oysters and lion’s paw, etc. It’d do anything to live in FL where I can shell to my heart’s content. It is absolutely medicinal for me due to extremely stressful circumstances. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. You do my heart good.

I found a bucket full of colorful shells -thorny oysters, scotch bonnets , bittersweet clams, turkey wings, and lions paws. Much to my delight, a snorkeler gave me two lettered olives!!! The waves break fiercely and quickly and the walk to the beach was a lot for my 82 year old mom but the tram ride back at the end of the day was a relief. Thank you for the video!

It's crazy that in one trip I can find both lion's paws AND scotch bonnets on the East Coast. Go figure! Those a truly hard to find (for me anyway) over here in SWFL. It was truly worth the trip! Thanks for coming along Janet! xoxo

You were in my neck of the woods; I live a couple towns south of North Palm. Now I have a great reason to visit JDM Park. Love your videos, by the way; so soothing to listen to and watch. Thank you!

You are so very welcome! I loved JDM Park but man it was a workout getting to the beach and then walking in that super soft sand. Way better than the gym though!

I’ll be in Sanibel in 2 weeks!!!! Yay!! Can’t wait to go shelling!!

The ride was a bit brutal, but the experience was amazing!
