    Hi Brian! As always you have taken us on a gorgeous beachy adventure! Your videos are so well done, can't help but feel like I am there. Beautiful Island. Can't imagine what it would feel like to go to sleep to that sound of the waves lapping and waking up to the same. Incredible and the shells were amazing, especially the nutmegs, scallops and the live creatures. Love the way you talk to the live ones and gently place them back, such a sweet nature you have!! Thanks for the video, Loved it! Have a great week!

      I LOVVE to camp when I can in Florida. IMO, it's simply the best way to wake up with the ocean right at your doorstep.
      Thank you so much for watching

    The sounds of the seagulls are just what I needed to hear today. I’m from Texas and those sounds make me feel like I’m home, even if in my mind. Thanks!

    I come from a family of 9 kids and every summer we would go camping on the beach at Tin Can Beach; later cleaned up and renamed Bolsa Chica State Beach...all Hunrtington Beach in SoCal and would come home with a major haul of seashells. Mostly quocinas and scallops and a few sand dollars. I never really learned the names of the shells and never really cared until I started watching your vids...I have learned alot and try to name the shells on your vids before you and feel proud that I named each one correctly..most of the time...lol! Loved this video and thanx for letting me tag along...in 4K, of course...!!!!☺

    What a great video, Brian! I'm going to have to check it out! BTW it's good you came to Honeymoon Island when you did. It has slowly become 2 islands since Idalia. Unless it's a negative low tide, you have to walk through water to get to the north end!😢

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hello! I have had SUCH good experiences at Honeymoon Island - so many shells, and such a calming "getaway" experience. There were quite a few times at the northern end of the island, where I saw no other people for 30+ minutes at a time.
      Thanks for watching!

    I've been there many times, but didn't know you could camp there! Usually leave from the Pass-a-Grille ferry. Thanks for going to one of my favorite places! Gorgeous shells !

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  Před 3 měsíci

      It's really cool! There is primitive camping allowed at the southern end of the island - no camp sites, literally just on the sand.

      Hi! Thanks for the sub!
      Oh boy, yeah this is a struggle filming out in the elements. Sometimes what I think looks good in the beating sun and heat, doesn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I am always trying to get the best shot though!

    I didnt realize one could actually camp on the beach like that. Pretty cool. That shadow picture was a double take for me, half in half out of the water, lol!! I noticed there werent any kitten/lion paws. R those in another area, perhaps? Or seasonal mabe? I gotta say the shells u kept were sweet❣ you got thoughtfull humor too, ☺😀. Yes, lets not interrupt brkfast, hehe. Most important meal of the day. Thankyou for this wonderfull half hr❣🥰 = Hugs

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I am sure there were some Kitten's Paws that I missed! I have never actually found a Lion's Paw on the west coast of Florida - I only find them in SE Florida.

    How do you get to shell key?

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  Před 3 měsíci

      There are a few ways you can get to Shell Key. In this video, I took the shuttle out of Hubbard's Marina, but you can also take the Shell Key Shuttle from Pass a Grille. You can also hire a private charter, or take your own boat.
      There's another Shell Key episode coming sometime in the near future - stay tuned!
