That island is the place of shell dreams! I kind of like some of the larger ones that are broken. It's gives them character! Thanks for sharing that wonderful place!
Today we have strong storms in Holland 🌊🌬 Tomorrow I will go to the sea to collect shells 🤣😂❤🐚. Thank you, the video was enjoyable. I loved it very much ❤
Not a lot of birds today, or dolphins. But great shells. Perfect timing to allow me to stop video and look before continuing to see what you found. Thx! ❤
I get so caught up in my own head and fascination, I sometimes forget it might be nice for other people to see the piles too 😃 I'm going to try to do that more often!
Another great shell tour! I'm getting more and more excited for my next trip to Sanibel Feb 24. This time my daughter will be with me! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Good evening, Beach Angel! So good to go beach walking at our favorite place again! Shelling is great, as usual on Kice Island, so I'll settle in a dream of warmer climes where I don't get half frozen walking to the mailbox in the lightly falling snow. Hoping for a good Christmas snow, but it's not likely. Saw a thumbnail of someone finding a dark brown spotted Juno is a few days after the storm. It was breathtaking! Only thing wrong was it wasn't you who found it! Yay! A Rose Murex! And a lovely Gaudy! You did so well today! It makes my heart fill with joy to see you having such a fun day! You deserve it, sweetheart! Much love to all and my sincere wishes that you all have the very best Christmas of your lives! Love and seashells!
I hope the Spirit of Christmas has come to visit you and brighten your week 🎄And may this year be the beginning of many happy holiday seasons to come. ❤️
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I can’t wait to be back in the Florida warmth in a week, but love spending the holiday with our family up north. Thanks for taking me to the beautiful beach with you on this snowy Sunday! It is awesome that you get to do this full time. Congratulations!
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year from my family to yours ! Thank you for always being my beach friend every Sunday, showing me and teaching me how beautiful our world is. Your videos always brighten up my days ! ❤🎄🎅🐚☀️🐬
Love the Gauti's, And that alphabet cones, Love those orange callico scallops/they are hard to come by. For me at least. That orange fight conch, wow. Love the lace murex. Can't get enough of those whelks. the cork screws on the nutmegs amaze me. Wow on that pear whelk. OMG, I was so excited over that "partial" true tulip. lol. Love my Rose Murex. :) Wow on that slipper snail. wow. And a beautiful small true tulips. wow on the Brown Pelican, beautiful. And great job on the garbage. :) Have a great week, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays friend.
Greetings, Sharmon and congratulations on doing full time SWF Beach Life. As always I enjoyed it and I'm happy for you. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I love how you talk to and thanked the island after you picked up the big plastic and it gave you a lovely shell (I forget what) in return. I always did the same thing. That wonderful feeling of gratitude! So happy for you to have quit your job to do something you love. Happy holidays from Toronto.
Thank you so much for watching all the way from Canada! I talk to myself, I talk to my cats and yes, shells and islands get some talking to as well sometimes 😂
I could not be more happy for you, Sharmon! There’s nothing like getting paid to do what you love. Congrats! Whatever happened to that giant horse conch you found a little while back? (after Milton I think)
I had found 3 horse conchs in the same morning and I kept 1 and auctioned off the other two to raise money for my friend who was displaced from Hurricane Milton.
Thank you for our trip to Kice! It's always rewarding.. oh that cob of true tulip would look fabulous in my har! Awesome Rose murex and all the treasures! Love those critters!!!
Thank you so much for all the effort you put into making your videos. They are a highlight of my week! I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I celebrate them all, but I'm not comfortable with the Christmas activities - LOL! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well and Happy New Year!
I still have never been to Florida, but I have to say from watching your videos near a year now, Kice is my favorite. Have a Great Christmas, Be blessed❤
Awww. How I wish I were there. Oh, that’s right 😡, the husband and daughter enjoyed last week shelling every single day😂. My husband shares the love of fighting conchs and says exactly what you said. He waits until the end of a trip because they are so heavy😂. They arrived back home to 30” weather and had all of their shells divided out to see who had the most alphabet cones. I am proud to say that my daughter won🤣. Thanks to you, our family is now obsessed with shelling and now have so much appreciation for the little fellas living in the beautiful shells 😍😍😍. Hope to be back soon. Much love from us crazy shellers in Kentucky🥰🥰. Merry Christmas
That was a great haul! Cannot wait to come and tour with your friend. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and I hope Santa brings you lots of great shells on the beach. See you Sunday! XOXO
I'm so happy that you get to shell as you wish! What a dream come true for a sheller! I'm coming down in January with my daughter and we are staying in Naples. Can you offer up any tips for finding nutmegs, alphabet cones and crown conchs? I've booked a shell tour with SWFL Shell Guide per your recommendation on here. I've also booked us a trip over to Keewaydin for the day. I am a little limited with my walking due to back and knee issues but I'm going to put my knee supports on and I'm hoping the shelling will take over my aches and pains lol! I LOVE your UA-cam episodes and I've been watching you for years! You have taught me a lot! I look forward to your suggestions! Thank you!
Since you'll be going out with both SWFL Shell Guide and going to Keewaydin, hopefully you'll find all those treasures you're looking for! I don't have any specific tips, other than keeping an open mind always makes for a more joyous trip to the beach 🥰
The guides are typically out on the islands every day, so they know which islands are being more "shelly" than others. And they'll know which parts of the island are giving up the most shells. Especially on Kice.
That Florida cone you picked at the beginning, looked like a Florida/alphabet cone cross. While I’m sure that probably can’t happen, is interesting to see a spotted Florida cone.
Charmin, isn’t that a spotted slipper snail? You called it a slipper snail. I have never seen one of the spotted slipper snails! It’s pretty. Thank you for all of your hard work on these wonderful videos!
Yes, that lovely slipper snail is one of the spotted variety. It was such an unusual color - never seen anything like it! Thank you very much for watching! 🙏
Hi!!!!! Fantastic video, like always!!!!. I'll be in Marco Island this coming weekend. Where should I go to do some shelling? Keewaydin or TigerTail Beach. Ali does not have any spots available for a guided tour
Definitely try the South end of Marco Island and Tigertail! And if you can swing Keewaydin with Hemingway Shuttle, that would be another great option too.
@SWFBeachLife I have visited Marco Island multiple times to do tours with Ali. She is amazing. We have never been to Tiger Tail Beach or Keewaydin. We are so excited.
My Sunday is now complete….❤
T-4 days..✈️🛫☺️🤸♀️🎊🎉. T-7 days to Kice….T-8 to keewayden…..🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
🐚🐚🐚🏖️🏝️⛱️🚤
Agree !!
That island is the place of shell dreams! I kind of like some of the larger ones that are broken. It's gives them character! Thanks for sharing that wonderful place!
It is very strange to walk - if you ever go wear good shoes ! Flip flops can get sucked right off your feet! Easy to fall down there
Today we have strong storms in Holland 🌊🌬 Tomorrow I will go to the sea to collect shells 🤣😂❤🐚. Thank you, the video was enjoyable. I loved it very much ❤
Not a lot of birds today, or dolphins. But great shells. Perfect timing to allow me to stop video and look before continuing to see what you found. Thx! ❤
The fighting “lover” conch was so cute🥹
I LOVED that you paused the video so we could see what was there!!!!! I am always trying to spy!
I get so caught up in my own head and fascination, I sometimes forget it might be nice for other people to see the piles too 😃 I'm going to try to do that more often!
Always look forward to SWF @ 5pm on Sundays!
Very happy for you, that you can do more shelling! Very happy for me, I'll get to see more of your videos!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the shelling escapades!
Just booked with SWF Shell Guide for January 1. So excited. Going to start the new year shelling 🐚
Negative low tide that morning, too... SWEEEET!
@ yippeeee
Is there any better way to start off a New Year? I hope you have amazing shell luck!!!
So many types of shells. They are all beautiful, imperfections or not. 🏖️
I love Kice island!! Sooo many shells!! ❤

Wow!! Kice never disappoints! What a fun day! I've decided to make it a goal to get down to the 10K islands in 25! Thanks, Sharmon! xxoo
Just make sure you wear your steel tip boots! I went 2 days in a row once and my toes were killing me! I walked into so many roots 😅
Thank you Sharmon. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS. 🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚
Merry Christmas to you and yours too! 🎄
Congratulations on your now full time enjoyment job/work!

I could not be more happy for you, Sharmon! There’s nothing like getting paid to do what you love. Congrats! Whatever happened to that giant horse conch you found a little while back? (after Milton I think)
I believe she sold it in an auction to help a friend in need after the hurricane ❤❤
I had found 3 horse conchs in the same morning and I kept 1 and auctioned off the other two to raise money for my friend who was displaced from Hurricane Milton.
Beautiful!!! Have a wonderful Christmas!!!😊😊😊
Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄
Congratulations!!
Thank you for our trip to Kice! It's always rewarding.. oh that cob of true tulip would look fabulous in my har! Awesome Rose murex and all the treasures! Love those critters!!!
If I kept broken shells I would literally need to live in a warehouse 🤣
Ahhhhhhh my meditation escape. :)

I actually really liked that pear welk with the tiny white barnacles all over it. It reminded me of frosting.
A bunch of straight bleach and all those barnacles are gone!!
Heading to honeymoon island tomorrow to see how everything looks there. Will update you when I get there
Good shell luck to you! Let me know if any of the turbans have returned please 😅
Those nutmeg are just adorable! 💕❤️
Lovely walk! Merry Christmas!

Hi Sharmon, curious how the guides know where to tell you to look for the best shells? Merry Christmas!
The guides are typically out on the islands every day, so they know which islands are being more "shelly" than others. And they'll know which parts of the island are giving up the most shells. Especially on Kice.
That Florida cone you picked at the beginning, looked like a Florida/alphabet cone cross. While I’m sure that probably can’t happen, is interesting to see a spotted Florida cone.
The "fresh" Florida cones can be really colorful with spots and lines on them!
Pick me up’s totally wonderful thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
💜 Happy Holidays! 🎄
Funny on some of the broken ones , I think they are prettier then there counter part because you can see the inner spiral part of their shell.
I call the peek-a-boo shells. I’ve kept a few myself 😀
Charmin, isn’t that a spotted slipper snail? You called it a slipper snail. I have never seen one of the spotted slipper snails! It’s pretty. Thank you for all of your hard work on these wonderful videos!
Yes, that lovely slipper snail is one of the spotted variety. It was such an unusual color - never seen anything like it! Thank you very much for watching! 🙏
Hi!!!!! Fantastic video, like always!!!!. I'll be in Marco Island this coming weekend. Where should I go to do some shelling? Keewaydin or TigerTail Beach. Ali does not have any spots available for a guided tour

@SWFBeachLife I have visited Marco Island multiple times to do tours with Ali. She is amazing. We have never been to Tiger Tail Beach or Keewaydin. We are so excited.
@@lunabrillante275 Good shelling luck to you!
Nice spotted slipper! (which is a different species) I have my best spotted slipper specimen displayed next to an alphabet cone - spots rivalry!
You just need a Junonia to round out the spot trifecta 😄
@ I have two junonias!
@@millabird Awesome!!!
Just curious...what was your day job anyway? Merry Christmas to you!
My last position was a Marketing Manager for a medical device company. I like shells and the beach a lot better 😀
