    Amen. It’s such a pleasure sharing and shelling. I love making things as I get enough shells. They make great gifts with a story

      They sure do! I have many ideas of what I'd like to do with my shells but for now just collecting...hard to get the time to "do"...but that will come in it's time. Blessings!

    What a fabulous shelling day! You found so many shells I’ve never heard of and some I didn’t know were here in Florida. And Conner, WOW, that kid has got his Moms eye for the good ones! Thanks for sharing your fun day at the beach!❤️🐚

      So happy most of this area was donated to the state by MacArthur himself so we all now have the chance to experience this untouched part of Florida right in the middle of Palm Beach where just about every other stretch of beachfront is built upon. Thx for watching!

    That beach had quite a variety of shells and beach glass. Your son has a very good eye for beach things. He’s becoming a wonderful collector all by himself. Maybe he should start a collection of his own. Then when he has a science fair he can take his bounty to school. Again thanks for sharing. Blessings from SC.

    I'm in Florida this week. I've been having so much fun looking for shells. But I'm only finding tiny ones where I am. I did find 2 imperial Venus clams and a flat scallop. I need to head over to the east side of the state next time.

    • @FloridaBeachWalks
      @FloridaBeachWalks  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes! The east coast is great when it’s great! Palm Beach county to the Keys is the best on this side of the state and that is because the coral reefs are located along those areas. We have a steep drop off right after the sandbars from 10 feet plus that’s a factor that makes it harder for shells to wash ashore with ease like they can on the gulf coast. Thx for watching 👍🏼

    Connor is quite the sheller!! i love how you shell, most channel i watch just walk past the shell piles because they are "common" shells. girl you just dig right in and look for those treasures! i will be in florida in july and have just 1 day to go to the east coast, was going to try palm beach, juno, and jupiter, is that do able in one day? which beaches would you choose?

    • @FloridaBeachWalks
      @FloridaBeachWalks  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Oh how exciting! Yes, if you do an all-dayer that is totally doable. Listing from south to north: Palm Beach I'd do MacArthur and walk north--try to time that to a lower tide so you can look in the rocks (those rocks come and go depending how much sand covers them), in Juno which is just north of MacArthur I'd park at Loggerhead Park and walk north to the pier; you can sometimes find sharks teeth by that pier. In Juno I'd park at Coral Cove and walk north to Blowing Rocks...there are rocks towards blowing rocks too. I hope you find LOTS of shells!

    I love this beach! It’s worth the drive from the west coast of Florida. What time of year was this. May was extremely hot. Connor is a Super Sheller! I would be happy with one lion’s paw. Are south winds preferable?

    • @FloridaBeachWalks
      @FloridaBeachWalks  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Oh I know! So happy it's a preserved area! I look for winds that blow on shore (west-ish) usually if we have crazy waves 3-5'+ a couple days later after that when wave heights are 0-3 there is usually good shells that get pushed up BUT it's not an exact science; some weeks you just don't get any breaks and it's choppy and rough for weeks! I just really look out for those calm days with wave heights of 0-3 and plan to go the day after that "calm day" so the shells have a chance to get pushed up and then sometimes it doesn't happen b/c it starts rough again, oi! I really need to start recording the days around "good" shelling days so I can see more of a pattern that what I've just been observing over the years. Anyways, this was a late fall trip. Shelling is better from what I've observed on the east coast from Oct-Feb -ish. Thx for watching!

      Walking far! For the most part a lot of people are near the entrance of a place; so I walk far. Also, central to the start of south FL's east coast side is never really "packed". And I tend to go on "off" days like Monday, Tuesday & Wednesdays.
