Just as good as Sanibel! Beach combing on South Fort Myers Beach. Sand dollars, shells and critters.
South Fort Myers Beach is awesome because you an find critters AND shells. Tons of birds, urchins and shells! What the heck is sea pork? Here is the link if you'd like to read more: www.atlasobscura.com/articles...

My favorite is the angel wings, I really hope I find some in November. Thank you for the videos. I knew nothing about shelling but you have thought me some much.

Thank you for putting the Sandollar back!

Wendy S. Miller It was awesome to finally find them! So funny we never found any, and in one day we find a whole bunch!
Enjoyed the video and the beach walk very much since we didn't get to get out to the beach today! Of course I am stoked you found a few of the beautiful angel wing shells AND got them home safely. I found a HUGE one last weekend (its in our most recent video). I agree I think those are sea pork, I've only found the orange color. I LOVE that you find SO many live critters. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! It was exciting to finally find some angel wings since we've never found them before. A few months back as I was beach combing, a gentleman gave me one. I ended up chatting with another woman and all she wanted was the angel wing shell, so I gave her the one the gentleman had given me. I figure I'll have plenty of chances to find some and I was right! I saw your angel wing - it was HUGE! You had quite a few good finds :)
I love that your honey goes out with you. Very cool. :)
You have learned a lot in a year.

The thing on the fighting conch is a closed sea anemone.

Great video! 0:27 channel duck clam 2:03 Bay scallop 7:57 your right it's fighting conch 10:10 Lightning whelk, pears grow in the other direction 10:26 Apple, like you said later you can tell by the size of the hole for the animal 12:03 I think that is a sea anenome. They usually hide like that when they feel threatened. Probably from the surf*

Hello from Fort Myers Florida USA!
If you ever figure out what the shell is at 9:55, will you let me know? I found 4 of them and I'm still unsure. We combed the shell museum's guide.

Andrea H. Maybe a cantharus? Those keep tripping me up - still! I’ll have to bring some over to the shell museum and see if someone can confirm for me.
