Hunting sea shells on a sandbar. Kayaking to where all the shells are!

  • Hunting sea shells on a sand bar is pretty much the best way to spend a few hours in my humble opinion. Summer is typically slow for shelling so I thought I'd try my luck on a kayak shell tour.
    www.swflshellguide.com
    Hunting sea shells can be a bit tough when your combing the same beaches everyone else is, so getting out and away from the usual foot traffic not only keeps the amount of people you'll encounter to a minimum, but hunting sea shells on a sandbar pretty much give you the best chance of finding the good shells!

    I love your channel & all of your videos. You have such an upbeat, but down the earth manner. It shows that you're a real person unlike so many of the fake in-your-face CZcamsrs out there. Right now watching your video is the bright spot of my day due to my Mom, my grandmother, & I having covid. I just want to let you know that what you do is special to people. When we were in Florida in June, we went to Keewayden Island because of your videos & had a great time. Next time we're in Florida, we'll try to do the tour you're sharing with us on this video. Thank you so much.

    I came across your videos and not being near the ocean, I live in Ohio, I became fascinated with all the different shells. I have to say I love your videos, you explain the different shells so well that I can now identify some of the shells you find. I have watched other videos of people looking for shells but they don’t come close to your videos. Love the beach time also.

    • @SWFBeachLife

      Well thanks for coming along with me on my walks! I used to visit Cincinnati every summer and the highlight of our trip was King's Island. I know how far away from sea shells you are so it's pretty cool that you are learning them all the way from OH! If you ever make it down here to Florida, you'll at least know some of the shells you're finding. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my beach walks!

    Hi my beach friend,
    What a great tour! The amount of beautiful finds goes on and on.
    Really love the Rose Murex and of course the hinged Spiny Jewelbox!😍
    I'm not a shell connoisseur by any means, but that Lace Murey looks albino, because it's white inside and outside. What a great find! 👍🏻
    Wishing you a wonderful week!
    Big hug from the Netherlands ❤

      It was such a fun day! Summers are typically much harder to find shells so to find so many goodies so quickly was amazing! And so many were so specials!

    I think that is an albino murax. I'm not an expert by any means it's my opinion. I also think this sandbar was fabulous for shelling. It was an awesome fabulous shell haul. I loved the hinged spiny jewel box , the gorgeous horse conch, all the sand dollars. I loved all of your shell finds. This kayak tour was the best tour yet. Sand bars can be so great for shell finds. Thanks for the beach time and letting us walk along with you. And dream of being where you are, on a lovely Florida beach.

      @SWFBeachLife  Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you for these videos of shelling. I live near St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island and Tybee. On Tybee, I find the lighting Whelks and the Lettered Olives. On St. Simons not much of anything. But on Jekyll, I usually find sand dollars. I have found a way to preserve my sand dollars, I coat them in resin. Either the UV resin or the two park. Light coats and let dry for a couple of days.

      My sister-in-law found BUCKETS of knobbed whelks one February after a storm up at Asseteague, MD. I was so jealous! We went the following week and there wasn't one shell to be found. I think I'm making up for lost time! 😅

    Nice rose murex! Love the videos. just got back from a vacation on Sanibel. I have been going to Sanibel with my family for 20+ years and I just found my first (very beat up) junonia. Also found a giant, uninhabited horse conch in neck-deep water and a couple of nice alphabet cones! Very exiting shelling trip and I can’t wait to go back.

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  Před 3 lety

      Those are amazing finds!! Yes, I think I've finally figured out those big horse conchs are in the water somewhere and not rolling up onto the beach. I've been really wanting to snorkel but the waters have not been cooperating! I'm so glad you found such great finds! I hope you find even better ones on your next trip!

    What a great day! The rose murax 🌹!!! It was hard for me to tell, did the color have an actual pinkish tone? My fave today the spiny jewel box! I did a happy dance 💃 in honor of your find! Just WOW! Your collection of special fighting conchs: love love love the contrasting shades! TY for a great walk this morning!

      That rose murex was actually bright orange and not so much pink. Go figure. That spiny jewel box was a stunner! It's so exciting finding those fantastic shells, especially in summer when the shelling is particularly slow. Yes, my FFCs are all over the place - I have a little lantern full of them too. Thanks so much for coming along Diane!

    the white shell: you know i know nothing, BUT to me it looks fresh rather than worn, dry and/or pitted, so i think it is a genuine white shell....albino, i do not know since there are white mammals which are not albinos...but i do say it is a genuine white shell. *P.S.* thank you for taking us shelling with you!

      I have found a few albino lightning whelks, what I believe is an albino FFC and now a lace murex. I think they're so unusual and different - just love them! Someone once asked if the creature inside would be pink. I would love to find a live one and find out one day! xoxox

    Beautiful shells. I really enjoyed your video I took my younger three out to Bird Shoals Island, NC for my son's birthday this past weekend and we found some cool stuff but we had to leave early both of my daughters started having heat exhaustion symptoms but come to find out they both had strep and pneumonia. They are luckily on the way to recovery and I will take them back out when they are 100%.

      Thank you and believe it or not they seemed fine until apparently they started running a high fever on the island, that’s what was causing the heat exhaustion symptoms, but luckily they are feeling a little better now. The crazy part they are 17 years old and they didn’t say a word about feeling bad until they were really sick. I definitely did not win the mother of the year award on this one I feel terrible that I didn’t realize they were sick. We are suppose to go to Ocean Isle Beach, NC in November and I hope they find all their bucket list shells.

    Holy moly! You really scored on that tour. Congratulations on your rose murex! It was in extremely nice condition also. I definitely think that was an albino lace mirax and was stunning. That's spiny Jewel box was another gorgeous little piece. That piece of sand out there should definitely be called the bandit tulip bar! You are finding those left and right. This was a very good episode. I'm going to have to pull the family in and watch it again LOL
