I got quite lucky on my most recent Florida shell tour as we got to visit 3 different islands in one fun morning. Low tide probably helped a little, but having 3 different shelling experiences on our shell tour made this trip 3 times as much fun!

Moon shells under your pillow? Do you have seashell dreams? Just keeping they safe? Would love to know why!
Hmmm…I thought the gawdy nautica, moonshell. etc were all the same…thanks for showing me the difference.
Wow
As I watch the snow flurries blow by my window , your beach walk looks so inviting!Merry Christmas!
Woohoo!! What an awesome shell tour! I’m headed back down to Rocky point for a beachy Christmas this week:) I got my rubber boots ready for some chilly low tide shell hunting! The tides are supposed to be negative 3-4 feet so I’m SO excited!! Happy holidays Sharmon!🎄😄
Your videos its amazing thank you:) i hope you will update a video of cleaning more sea shells:)
What an awesome shelling day you had! Thabks for taking us along.
Wow that was a great shelling day ! That huge moon snail was gorgeous! Merry Christmas 🎄
Just wanted to say
MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy new year
From Missouri.
Keep up the great videos!!!
We are still praying for all Swf.
Some great finds! Loving all of them
Awesome, thank you so much x
You truly do have the most amazing life what an exciting day I would have been jumping like a 7-year-old seeing all those shells a 50 lb sack wouldn't have been enough thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experiences with us.. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones take care
I So enjoyed the tour in Ali's Kayaks ! And look forward to booking again ! Nice time shelling on the islands ! Thanks !!
Oh wow!! What absolutely amazing and beautiful finds! I’d be lying if said I wasn’t even a tiny bit envious of all these shells and your shelling trip. That massive Shark Eye and Angel Wing are just stunning! And that final shot of all the shells….THAT is why I one day hope to make it down to SWFL/Marco/10K Islands in the colder months to do some winter shelling…the shells really do seem to be better and more abundant then. Thanks for another great shelling video! Wishing you a Merry Christmas!!
Awesome finds!! 😊
What a great day, thank you so much for taking us a long and I loved all the shells but when you started finding all the moon snails I was so excited, when we reschedule our shelling vaca for down there this is the tour I want to take, have a great week and looking forward to next Sunday!!
Great shells!!! My husband was watching and we are wondering why the moon shells are under your pillow!
Oh my goodness! You got a wonderful collection on this trip. The shark eyes are awesome. Love the whelks!
Fantastic shelling day. I love all the shells you found.
Hey Sharmon! When are you going to drop some acid…shell videos on us??!! I'd love to see you drop some of these in acid. Hope you and our fellow seashell friends are doing well in Florida. The baby horse conchs can be called foals. Great video!
Yay, Awesome finds, 👍
Such a great tour, thanks for sharing 😊
Wow Sharmon, that was an awesome day! Thank you for sharing it with us! OK I have to ask, why do you sleep with the moonshells under your pillow???
Love the colors on the conch shells
Thanks for the great trip shelling! Can't wait to go there someday (because of you)!
Please, where did you get a shell tour?
At 11:10, just to the right of your index finger, was that just a very swirly moon snail?
You found a new species. The Morse Code Cone, a sub genre of the Alphabet Cone. Seeing the piles of shells washed way up on Kice and all the flattened trees shows how far the storm surge came. And that huge pile of Pen Shells! This excursion shows that there is truth to the feeling that after a storm the shelling is great. As the tides continue to churn the sand up more will be revealed.
Hello! Visiting Anna Maria Island and wondered if you had places near that you could recommend for shelling. We were supposed to go to North Captiva, which was canceled after Ian. My heart hurts so much for Sanibel and Captiva residents as I had friends who lived here since 1988. Many trips here to paradise!!😢 I pray you and everyone else will stay strong and rebuild.
If you have suggestions, I would be grateful to hear about them until 12/26😊
Wishing you a blessed holiday and so enjoy your weekly videos!!
Woe! That was an amazing tour!! Where do you begin?! I would be so afraid of missing something, lol! Thank you again for keeping my dreams alive!
I would also like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year! Sending wishes for : Health, Happiness, Peace ,Love, Family, Friendship, Kindness and Laughter!
I sleep with my shells too also under my pillow and beside me Lol
When you got that little beat up Florida cone at 25:45 on video, did you catch that Alphy ????
I would have loved to be on that trip. I was picking up the ones you didn't!
Hi Sharmon. I always look forward to your videos. It is just heartbraking to see the extend of damage that was caused… I got just as excited when you found those Moon shells and Shark eyes. I am including a link of another lady I am also following. When I saw this video tonight I immediately thought of you and what your reaction would be if you could go shelling here. I would go nuts..😍 Lots of hugs…

The shot of the moonstones under your pillow just slayed me!!! You are so terrific! Thanks for sharing your adventures! It -2 here in Wisconsin today so this was a fun watch!!
How do you know if there is a creature living in the sand dollars?
