SHELLING The Atlantic and Caribbean in SAME day: St. Kitts!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- We visit the beautiful island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis to do some exemplary Caribbean shelling! The unique geography here allows you to shell and beachcomb in both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea in the same day.
We'll beach hike, do some snorkeling and look for some awesome mini's at the world famous Cockleshell Beach!
Cockelshell beach is the best! Found some amazing shells there myself! Great finds dude!
FUN NOTE: After re-watching my footage from finding mini's at Cockleshell Beach(11:55), I realized I missed SO many! Pause frame at this section of the video and you can search through to see what other shells I missed here!
Loved all the shells you found on the beaches ⛱😍
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this one since we've been to St. Kitts, twice, on cruise stops and even spent a few hours at Cockleshell beach the first time in 2013. Unfortunately it was the one rainy day of that cruise but I still loved it and found some great smaller shells. And I know exactly what you mean about all of the ark shells and turkey wings! Second time in 2015 we spent the day at South Friar's Bay (Shipwreck Beach) after going to the fort, which we loved, great views and it was just beautiful that day. Great shelling snorkeling in the water at Shipwreck, even some nice sand dollars out further which you have to free dive for. Only collected one and got it back in one piece. I'm addicted to your videos now, so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Congrats on those beautiful finds and thank you for sharing!
Wowsah, it sounds like you have had some great adventures at this location!
I had to do a little pre-research before heading out on the day trip here from the cruise. I noticed that Turtle Beach(the other beach in this video), seemed to be a little more remote and within walking distance of Cockleshell. Both beaches were amazing - Turtle was more of the wild Atlantic, and Cockleshell was the calmer Caribbean.
I am so glad to hear you enjoy all of this content!
@@solaceinshelling6552 if we get back, I'll have to check out Turtle Beach, would love to get back to Cockleshell as well for those views on hopefully a sunny day since I love getting pics too. Unfortunately Carnival Cruise Lines apparently no longer allows beach collected shells to be brought back on their ships. When we cruised last, in 2015, they were allowed. Looking forward to watching more videos, hopefully this week. Thank you again!
Lots of Turkey wings shells!
Nice the shells are really cool

Very nice finds! That Helmet was stunning, thought I definitely get why you didn't keep it. They really weigh you down so much. Great underwater footage too!

Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing your adventure! I’ll be in St Kitts in 10 days, my goal is to collect some of these beautiful shells. Now I know what to look for! 😁
It's a beautiful place - you're going to love it! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful Planet ...wow
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
How lovely these shells, and there I thought I found nice ones here in U S🙄, but an island girl like myself, there's nothing like the beaches of my homeland, Barbados 🇧🇧😊 love this video ♥️🐚
I appreciate your viewership - thanks so much for watching!
Love this video(too)
Thanks so much for watching, friend!
Snorkeling shots were amazing.The water was so clear.Didn’t look like many people there
Hi friend! Yea the beach wasn't crowded at all on the Atlantic side, but there were definitely quite a few folks on the calmer, Caribbean side. Thanks for the great feedback!
The wi top shell is know locally as Wilks and is frequently eaten here
Thanks for watching!
Caçadores de conchas.
I thought the shells. Here would be more colorful.
Awesome! You just need to improve on something to quiet the wind noise
Awesome footage! Great finds! I was wondering about your shoes. Are they water shoes or just regular tennis shoes and if they are tennis shoes how do you dry them out after your shelling trips? 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚
Hello! These were water shoes that I brought with me on the cruise I went on in December last year for this trip! I purchased them on Amazon, but unfortunately they broke by the end of the trip!
Oh i do pause! 🤗 One thing is what i swore was a bonnie you called articulated cowery shell. So now im confused lol.
Hello friend! I definitely didn't find any Scotchies on this trip, but did find quite a few Reticulated Cowrie Helmet shells - they do look a little similar!
@@solaceinshelling6552 , thats good to know, that there is a similarity. Thanx Solace, 'hugs' 🤗
Love shells! When I was a kid, 60 years ago, I used to find beautiful abalone shells in California. Do you ever find them?
Hello friend! I have never actually found any of these - but perhaps someday I will...just have to get to the right spot!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! But I actually feel dizzy looking at the shells
Thanks for watching, friend!
Curious as to why you did not keep that massive shell?
Hello friend! I have quite a few large helmet shells already in my collection. This particular Helmet shell was very nice, but it would have weighed my suitcase down quite a bit, when traveling back. Additionally, the location where I found it was about a mile away from where I started walking initially so it would have been a bit of a hassle to carry it back across the rocks on the Atlantic side.
Thanks so much for watching!
How do know the difference between an arch shell and a turkey wing?
Interesting question! So the "Zebra Ark" Shell is the more formal name for this particular shell, but it is also very commonly known as a "Turkey Wing". You'll hear it referenced as both! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. That is interesting.
Are there restrictions on what you can take out of the country, besides the obvious live shells?
Hello friend! I can only speak to my personal experience, but I have been to a few island countries in the Caribbean and I have never had an issue packing my shells neatly in my suitcase and getting them home!
Happy Shelling!
i cant beleive you didnt keep the big helment shell.
Hello friend! I have so many of these in my collection, I really didn't need another. Additionally, this shell was super heavy, and it would have been difficult to carry it all the way back down the rocky beach.
Thanks so much for watching!
Was that an albino olive you put back, or was it just beach-bleached?
Hello! This would have just been a sun bleached Netted Olive(cousin of the Lettered Olive)
Thanks for watching!
you broke my heart by not keeping the helmet
Sorry 🙃 I have so many Helmets in my collection already, I didn't really need this one. Also it would have been super HEAVY to carry back across the slippery rocks.
Thanks so much for watching!
