@SWF you mean try east coast? I think he needs one of your shelling bags. Who goes shelling, in hopes for an epic day, without a shelling bag? I prefer the water of the Emerald Coast and shells of Navarre and P'cola esp after a storm. Nice find. I too will have to try the east side.

@@SS-wk7fx Doh! Yes I did mean East Cost! I never hit a beach without my shell bag and my delicates container. I was so wishing I could have been there that day. I would have happily filled my bag with gorgeous shells! 🐚

WOW WEEEEE you hit the jackpot!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We go to Sanibel at least once a year, but this year we checked out Navarre Beach Island up by Destin in the panhandle. Lots of different shells that we've never found on Sanibel. Boatloads of Bittersweets, quite a few Scotch Bonnets, Cabrit Murexes, an excellent Queen's Helmet, and an Atlantic Distortio with only a few pinholes in it. The water was too rough to snorkel when we were there, but I understand that shallow snorkeling is a great way to find shells there. Thanks for this great video! Now we have to check out Southeast Florida!

You need a big shell bag, what great finds, thank you for sharing.

Hey Sandy! A bigger bag is right!

Thank you for pointing out a great misconception about shelling in Florida. The east coast is far richer in shell species and you can find some amazing rarities. The secret is to wait for beach reconstitution projects which occur frequently. Sand is dredged offshore around forty ft from reef pockets and dumped on the shore. I spent countless hours digging through it and found some truly amazing shells, many in nearly gem conditions, in much better shape then shells you find in the surf which have been worn down by tumbling around.

Ahhhh… those deep orange tinted shells keep jumping out at me .. I’d be stoppin n stoopin’ every minuit..Love those colors..! Just subscribed to your wonderful channel..❤🤗👍

Hey! I’ve watched this video three times over the past couple months because the beach is breathtaking and I can’t believe how many amazing shells you found that day. Loved the sundials, hairy tritons, queen helmets, lion paws, scotch bonnets, gorgeous huge shark eyes (that one that had unusual colors), nutmegs, green stars…just an amazing haul. Wow. Soooo much fun. Your info on the area was fascinating, as well. Thanks so much for sharing these fab videos. 🥰 🐚 Take care.

I had one day first trip to 10k islands Marco where I found a scotch bonnet and junonia within 5 minutes of each other. I was flying high!

I have watched this video so many times. I love it because I was snowbird in Palm Beach for 16 years. You picked the Perfect day! I have come close, but never found so many species in one day. I am so happy to see you find many of my favorite shells. I also sad because my beautiful collection was dumped in the trash when we unexpectedly had to sell our home in the summer. But seeing you being so excited brings back beautiful memories. By the way, queen conchs do live on the east coast. There were HUGE ones in the Jupiter inlet. So sadly a big release of water from Lake Okeechobee killed them. I re-watch several of your videos. Thank you soooo much for making them.

Hello Paul, welcome to my channel! Before this particular visit, I had only visited this beach once and the shelling was good, but not amazing. I am not sure why this day was so epic, but I am glad that it was! I filmed all of my recent Florida content back in April when staying with my family for a week and a half(they are snowbirds too!) I have a "Round 2" adventure from this location coming soon in the future - stay tuned my friend, and thank you for your viewership!

Wow they’re all so beautiful! We’re on the southern east coast right now and I’m learning the shell names through your videos. We were at John D MacArthur beach state park and it looks like maybe where you were in this video but there are piles of shells there and almost nobody walking on the beach. It was heaven! Awesome relaxing video! And gorgeous 🐚! Thank you!

Thank you so much for all your efforts in recording this beautiful video for me to watch. I love seashells and I was so excited watching you find all those absolutely beautiful ones, I actually found (picked out) some that you ended up picking before you actually grabbed them and that was fun. I have my collection found off the shores of Maui where I live but I must say the colors in those you found are amazing. Thank you again for sharing.

I cant help but ne amazed by the show of shells today!Wow!

Great shelling! I always bring an extra grocery bag when shelling just in case the shelling is good. I use a net bag to which I've hooked a shoulder strap. This way the bag is hanging at my side and frees my hands for shelling! Some of those Scotch Bonnets had great color.

@@solaceinshelling6552 try the net bag with the shoulder strap. I just bought a strap that had the slide hook openings which I hooked into the netting at the top of the bag. Those bags last forever and hold a lot of shells. It's so simple to place the shells in the bag. I place the strap diagonal across my chest which keeps the bag at my side as I bend down to pick up the shells. The grocery bags require you to hold them which limits hands-free shelling, especially since you're holding your camera. You certainly hit the jackpot at West Palm. There must have been some stormy weather before you got there which stirred up the shell beds.

Happy New Year hun. Thanks for Sharing Beautiful treasures.

Cool getting to see EC beaches. We did Juno and Jupiter on our last trip. I found mostly bittersweets and a few flat scallops. Was hoping for something more rare. On my 50th bday trip to Florida, last day in Sanibel I found 50 bittersweets…what a gift from the sea. Small pocket of them within about a 1/4 mile. But since then, they’ve been hard to find on Gulf side.

My husband and I live an hour away from John Mac Arthur State Park where this was filmed. We got up early yesterday and parked at Ocean Reef Park at 6 am when it opened and decided we’d walk the 30 minutes north to John Mac Arthur (which opens at 8 am) and shell along the way. There was a major fish kill this week and the beach was littered with dead fish from the reef. Thousands of dead fish. With the heavy sargassum weed in the water and on shore along with all of the dead fish, the shelling was a no go. I found pieces of a helmet conch, hairy triton, and scotch bonnet, but nothing whole. Regardless, the area is beautiful. Going in April would be better as the summer months bring heavy seaweed. I do not recommend going here until the water is tested and they figure out what killed the fish. We do not get red tide on the East coast. PS: I loved your video! It prompted our trip yesterday. Even though we hit that beach at probably the worse time, the pieces of shells we found show it can be an awesome shelling beach. Thank you!!
