@@solaceinshelling6552 if you go, be sure to visit Malaquite Beach…take a 4x4 and then go at least 25 miles down the beach away from the entrance before you start really shelling. At the visitor center they can give you some good information too. You can primitive/tent camp or RV if it’s capable of transversing the loose sand. Also there’s two different islands, Padre is at Corpus Christi and South Padre is at Brownsville. That’s confusing for even lifelong Texas natives. 😂 At one time they were in fact the same island, many hurricanes ago, but now they’re not connected and you access from two completely different parts of the state. It is wild and lovely. I have seen coyotes come down from the dunes at sunset… got some magical photos! The Brown Pelicans fly up and down the beach constantly. The ghost crabs are everywhere with their hilarious antics. There’s deer and kangaroo rats… it’s really awesome. If you have a love for natural wild beaches, you will love it. Sadly though, there has been trash the past few years that wasn’t there before the pandemic. A lot has washed up, but then people camp and see it as they don’t need to pack out. The visitors center offers free reusable trash pickup bags (shopping bag size) and I usually try to fill up a couple bags when I’m out there. When I’m down in South Padre, I love to visit Sea Turtle Inc Turtle Rescue. They do some amazing work there. I do hope you make it to Texas. It’s not as nice as Florida, but it’s got its own kind of beautiful.

And thanks for taking a moment to explain about the decussate bittersweet. I've been trying to find out more about them since your North Palm video, and since I think I found one in Jupiter last year, and there isn't much online info.

How do you tell the difference between the Florida nautica and the Gaudy natica?

It was so interesting seeing the sea floor when you snorkelled. I've been too chicken to snorkel in the ocean waves, but have enjoyed Phil Foster park and especially Peanut Is. The fish are gorgeous! Thanks for your great videos and dialogue. I may never get to Florida again, but your videos give me the joy of shelling with you.

Interesting question! So both shells are in the Natica genus, which makes them closely related. Their appearance is somewhat similar, but the Florida Natica shells have a more defined color pattern of wide tan bands on a white background. The bands are bordered by lines of interrupted dark-brown or orange segments. Additionally, Florida Natica shells are only found in SE Florida, where Gaudy Natica shells can be found pretty much all throughout Florida. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

I just discovered the joy of shelling and your channel. Love both! Earlier in July, my husband and I, former “non beach”, took the kids to (5 and 8) to see the beach for the first time. I have a hard time sitting on a beach for any length of time, but quickly took up to shelling, birding, and watching the fish off the dock near where we rented. Now I just want to live there. 😊 We stayed in Siesta Key. Visited Siesta, Crescent, Turtle, Longboat Key and drove down to Captiva for a day. We’re looking to do another trip the second week of October. My hope is to find somewhere peaceful to stay near good shelling areas. How do the coastal areas off of Tampa compare with those off of Sarasota for shelling and families? Are there other areas like the bayside of Fort De Sota where you see many live mollusks? That video you shared was fascinating too. ❤

A great question! There's a few things I can say here... shelling in Florida is best in the winter and spring(this episode was filmed during the spring about year ago). Secondly, shelling conditions are almost always dependent upon certain combinations of the tides and weather, so planning a shelling trip around those components will always help. Lastly, I would say that shelling in general is often unpredictable, especially in south Florida. When I shell, I try to go without expectations that way I can enjoy the adventure regardless of what I find! This was filmed at Juno Beach, north and south of the pier. Thanks for watching!
