How to find shells. Captiva & Sanibel Island shelling.

- How to find shells is a question I get a lot. In the summer, the winds change the the shells tend to hide a bit, so going in the water to find them is a very good idea. I wanted to try snorkeling and I brought my trusty sand flea scoop, so Captiva was the first stop and just across a small bridge is Sanibel, so I decided to try my luck over there too.
I will show you 3 different methods I used to find shells. Answering the question, how to find shells isn't always as straightforward as it may seem. Tides, winds, location and water conditions all play a factor.
I hope you learn a little and have a better idea how to scoop in order to find shells.

thank you for your time and hard work and information.............and beach time.........i close my eyes and im their.............i dont get to go out very much so this is a great treat for me..............i love shelling..........in my younger days.............fan for ever in red oak tx........
I found my first baby's ears this week at North Myrtle Beach. I was able to identify them because of your videos. I found around twenty. Thanks!!!
So many calico scallops! I just love them. I display mine in a glass bowl so that my granddaughter can rearrange them when she comes over. LOL.
I so appreciate the way you show all of us how to shell it can not be easy scooping and filming with one hand to bring us all with you . I really love “beach time” it so reminds me of when my family and I were there this past Thanksgiving. It was cool enough to shut off the a/c and open up the windows and fall asleep to the crashing of the waves. Cant wait till this year to be able to do it all again.
Gotta say... getting harder and harder to decide on a favorite find with each video Sharmon!!! :-)
i have a bag a shells my husband bought for me so im learning the names ..........thank you for sharing with us........i never knew they had special names...........thank you again..................

Great video. I can’t wait to see your snorkeling adventure. The rays were amazing!
Such a kind, gentle soul you have. Thank you for sharing this with us. I really appreciate The time, energy, love for sharing with us. I truly mean it thank you! 🙏🏻🐚💕
I have just discovered you a few days ago and have maybe watched half of your videos so far. I want to thank you and let you know how much you are helping me. This isn't meant to be a pity party but I am currently on the waiting list for a new organ and suffer from extreme fatigue. My days are spent dealing with doctors and lawyers and I have begun to start having small panic attacks just when I try to relax. Watching your videos of the beach and shelling are so relaxing and enjoyable they are almost like therapy. I don't have the ability to contribute to you on Patreon right now but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate you. I've always wanted to go to Sanibel and someday, after getting a transplant and regaining my strength, I plan to do just that but for right now I have your channel. So, again, thank you for allowing me to accompany you on your lovely outings.
I have done paragliding in Mexico. Was terrifying and after the fear left me, it was almost spiritual, loved it! You will enjoy gliding. I have learned to see a kitten paw, olive, turkey wings, angel wings etc. Thank your! I really like the pink petals. (I think that’s want you call them). Wrinkly fingers.. 😂 😂
Hi I love so much love watching you get shells, Watch that guy on out on the boat in the water that doesn’t look interesting but getting all those pretty shells looks so good!
Your finger tips are all wrinkly from shelling all day! Gotta be super satisfying getting a jar full of those pink scallops!
I loved this week’s video! Sanibel & Captiva are the first places I ever went shelling at earlier this year. I miss it so much & hopefully can return soon. You can never have too many scallops or kitten paws. 😊
I’m that vacation sheller that’s going nuts over just common stuff as you pick up the beautiful full stuff!
I was shelling in Sanibel and Captiva in June and miss it so much. So glad to continue the fun by watching your videos. I enjoy the shell facts and your sense of humor.
Η απόλυτη ευτυχία! Να μαζεύεις κοχύλια και όστρακα! Αστερίες και αχινούς δεν έχει στη παραλία; Όσα δε θέλεις να μου τα έστελνες! Τι χαρά θα έπαιρνα! Δε γνωρίζω τα αγγλικά καλά για να σου γράψω! Είσαι ευλογημένη! Και η γη που πατάς! Κανείς συλλογή; Εγώ φτιάχνω έργα με αυτά! Και με θαλασοξυλα! Για μένα!
Another great Sunday at the Beach!
Thank you so much for the nice trip! I put it on my TV and watch, really beautiful shells 🐚 🐚🐚. Pity that you couldn’t snorkel 🤿. I look forward to seeing you snorkeling 😊
My favorite place to shell is Blind Pass. I had about the same luck you did. Lots of beautiful scallops. I’ll never complain tho about being on a beautiful beach and seeing the dolphins play. It’s amazing!! Thank you for the great video to remind me why I love visiting there so much. 🤗 🐚 🐚🐚🐚
