- Low tide Florida shelling are my 4 favorite words! We have the best shells and low tide feels like a playground to me. Come along and see what all we can find!
Thank you all for the help on that mystery shell. After some help and debate, I think I found a scorched mussel 😃
Happy Birthday Sharmon! What a wonderful way to spend your special day!!!
Thank you so much! I thought it was the perfect way to start the day 😃
“Don’t turn your proboscus on him!” BEST. ADVICE. EVER!!!!!! I laughed out loud ! Thanks!!!!!
Shell nerds unite!!! 🤣
In addition to the shell IDs, I really appreciate your showing the live critters, and that you advocate for taking the litter off the beach. Thank you for all of it.
You are most welcome! Thanks for letting me share my special day with you 😃
I have never been on a beach to collect shells. What a piece of Heaven ❤
It's so fun! I am used to going to the beach up in NJ, but the beaches down here in FL are THE BEST!
Happy birthday, Sharmon; here’s to many more!!🎉
Thank you! 😊
@@SWFBeachLifeA very Happy Birthday to my ole beach friend💕 Have a good time today!
Wanted to tell you there are millions of white olives on St. Thomas beaches
I live in Hendry county and haven't been back to Fort Myers beach after Ian. It broke my heart to see the Pier and everything around it go, including the devastation on Sanibel. Both dairy queens(core memories for me)will be severely missed and the Pier shop and the nostalgic community. But you have inspired me to go back and do some shelling and exploring. ❤
Sadly the islands will never be the same - but there are lots of things that never change. Like how beautiful the beaches are. And we have more and more restaurants and resorts opening so things are getting better and better 😃
Happy birthday to you. My 60th is tomorrow. Thank you for a weekly dose of sun and shells
Happy birthday 🥳
Happy Birthday! 60 is awesome, I hear. I'll be 55 this year I'm I'm just not sure my brain is going to catch up! (I'm still 16 in my head!)
Have an amazing day!
Happy Burthday, Janet 🎉🎂 🥳
🥰
Thank you for the birthday wishes and a happy birthday to you too!
🎉🎂💝 🥳 🎁🙏😎 🎈🎊
Happy Birthday!! What a great way to start Your Day.
Thank you for showing the critters, they are SO interesting ! I wish for You all the peace, love and joy that comes Your way ! You do so much for your viewers 🧐☺️
Thank You…
Thank you so much 🤗
🎈Happy Birthday Sharmon! 💐 That was an awesome video with the beach, shells, and critters! It’s so funny, every time you share ‘beach time’ I subconsciously take deep relaxing breaths! 😆 Thanks so much!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Happy Birthday, Beach Angel! Words cannot possibly tell you what you have given to me with your beautiful seashell videos! You've made me laugh when I wanted to cry and given me hope for a brighter tomorrow. I am forever in your debt, because, as you well know, we mermaids live as long as there is foam on the waves!
That looked like a juvenile Portugeuse Man O'War! Its rentacles would have been buried in tge sand under the body. If I'm right (or if it's a jellyfish) you were saved a serious sting! Even a young one of those guys can ruin your day!
Please, folks, NEVER dig under an unidentified gelatinous mass unless you KNOW it's safe to do so! I was a ranger at Gulf Islands National Seashore on Pensacola Beach, Florida and I've been stung by both of those critters and it's NOT pleasant!
This is a really great way to spend a birthday. I'll be having mine in October and am thinking maybe a trip is in order to celebrate!
Okay, that is almost definitely a very immature Man O' War!!! PLEASE LET THEM ALONE! Those you have found are washed ashore by the waves and their tentaclez, which get buried, can be LETHAL! They don't grow their "sails" until they're older, but the whitish fleshy knobs on top of them are the bydfing sails. The deep "veins" radiating out from their center are key to identifying these little monsters.
Thst would be one bad way to spend your birthday, in the Emergency Room! I'm hoping you don't find another.
If I may, dear Angel, may I add another rule to your list of don'ts and that is, until you are ABSOLUTELY SURE what sort of live critter it is, do not touch it! I've seen so many people's vacations ruined by jellyfish and young and adult Man O' War! Please don't be next!
I'm so excited to see all the live shelled critters and, my personal favorite, sea stars, and the prickly cockle was very interesting, too!
Beautiful olive! Yay, another 10 for the pelicans team in synchronous diving!
So much fun, tbough you nearly scared me silly!
Much love to all you beachy folks and to you, my Beloved Beach Angel, from Rebecca, The Lost Mermaid 🧜🐚💖🌹
P.S. That olive looked very golden on video!
I think the jelly-like thing is a type of anemone but good advice to not mess with things you're not sure are safe. I've seen a man-o-war on the East Coast. Quite beautiful and not a jelly fish! It's a siphonophore and is actually 4 different little systems working together. Neat creatures. I saw something else purple on the East Coast when I went. I'll have to check out the footage and see if I can figure out what it is! I hope your gardens are coming along nicely ❤️
Yeah, we used to get them up on the northwestern beaches quite often when I was a lifeguard and I often came in contact with hapless swimmers who had tangled with them, too. I know them to be siphonophores, as well.
After I became a ranger, working in the emergency station on the radio in the telecommunications room, we were trained in first aid and had to learn about jellies, the anemones and the Man O' War class. We didn't get them often, but we learned very quickly that they are definitely nothing to mess with!
The wrong type of anemone can put a whup on you, too! If they have tentacles spread out like sunrays, it's safe to assume it's an anemone, but even then, you should not mess with them, as some species can pack a wallop and inject toxins! Better safe than screaming in pain!
If someone has an underlying medical condition, that whole group of bad boys, jellyfish included, can kill.
By the way, there are marine worms that can give a really bad sting, along with some species of sea slugs. Best to stick with the shells (cones not included).
Didn't mean to contradict you, love, just protect you and your viewers. Personally, you scared me silly! I was actually screaming at the phone, "STOP! DON'T TOUCH THAT, SHARMON!"
Just keeping it real at the beach!
Love your voice and explorations and your love of ocean.
Thank you so much!!
Happy belated birthday... and here i am at 5:07 so most def feel ya on waking early to see beautiful stuff not to mention, being at the mercy of the tides🙂
Happy birthday sharmon …..best way ever to spend your day. Ps…..March/april ….coffee grounds …..wentletraps time 😁
I like to get my wentletraps over at Lighthouse Beach. I've heard they are still there. I just need a good low tide evening without the noseeums!!
🎶Happy Birthday to you🎵 Many happy returns! That gummy creature appears to be a type of anemone. Thank you for giving us the gift on your birthday! 🎁 ❤TN Nana
PS - The shell is a Brachidontes, a ribbed mussel
Thank you so very much! A few other people suggested anemone. I wish I knew what kind. And thank you for the mussel ID! I thought a scorched mussel but I'll look again. The ribbed mussel looks like a mussel and a mossy arc had a baby - LOL!
Wow what a great birthday thank you so much for a Fantastic Day I'm in heaven.❤😊
Happy Birthday Sharmon
Happy birthday!🥳
I also love looking for seashells on the beach!
Happy to have found your shelling videos. I lived 3 blocks from Atlantic Beach Florida for 2 years and went shelling all the time. My favorite time was right after a tropical storm or hurricane...I have some amazing shells and sea glass. After hurricane Frances I moved 50 minutes away and haven't been back to see the ocean in years. I just feel it's too far of a drive for me. Happy to spend time watching you shell and learning things I never knew about shells. ❤
Yes, shelling right after a storm can quite amazing! Happy to have you come to the beach with me vicariously!
Hippo Birdie Two Ewe ! ! Have many more happy ones! So many lightning Welks, love them..
I can't think of a better way to spend a birthday. Happy Birthday, Sharmon! 🎉 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🐚 😊
Thank you so much!!
Wow, Sharmon, I have learned so much from you! That Giant Atlantic Cockle - how it got itself into the water, amazing! And the Banded Tulip; the bottom of the shell is actually the front end of the shell. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us; you have renewed my fascination and serious interest with the beautiful gems of the beach. ❤😊
Happy Birthday🎉 We are glad you had a wonderful day with your Critters & seashells. Thank you for sharing your day with all of us.

Happy Birthday, Dear Sharmon! Thanks for taking us along. I've learned so much about shelling and SWF shells from you, and your vids make Sunday night my fave night of the week. xx
Happy Birthday Sharmon, great video and what a birthday present!
Thank you!!
Well happy late birthday!❤️ I'd say you had a pretty great birthday shelling day! It was a regular aquarium out there!😁 Loved all the live critter vids! Have no idea what that mystery bivalve was. Did you get an answer? Thanks Sharmon! xxoo
I think scorched mussel is the mystery shell - which makes sense. I don't find all that many mussels so I don't have a good catalog in my head yet!
Happy birthday I’m so glad you were born❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday, friend! Absolutely lovely content as always! 💙
Thank you so much!!
Happy Birthday! That's an awesome way to spend it :) Thanks for sharing with us!

Happy Birthday Sharmon!!! Another thing we have in common! We are both late March babies! (Just starting the video, so no comment on that yet.)
What a great beach walk! I just thoroughly enjoyed all the critters! Thanks for picking up the trash!
Great video was actually just visiting Lovers state park yesterday.. We visited from Boca Raton for a day.. What a beautiful place. We will be back truly enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
Happy birthday, look forward to your videos every week, enjoy your special day !
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday Sharman!! ❤
Happy birthday!! What a haul! The gummy things are a type of sea anemone, although I don’t know the exact species. The mystery shell looks to be a juvenile mussel shell. Happy hunting!
Thank you so much for the ID help!! 🙏🏼
A big Happy Birthday to you 😊🎉 I haven't been following you that long, but I've learned so much watching you! I can't wait to get to a beach with hopefully lots of shells. Would love to someday get down there to western Florida. I live in western NC. So will probably go to maybe Holden Beach for starters. Keep putting out these great videos, love them! ❤❤😃
Happy happy birthday, Sharmon! I look forward to your videos every single Sunday. Thank you ❤
Thank you for the bday wishes and thank you for watching!

I did have a wonderful birthday - thank you!
Hi Sharmon! Loved the video as always. What a lovely birthday walk and a few special finds! The shell you are not certain about looks like a mussel to me. Look up Yellow Mussel and see what you think.
Yes I do think it's a mussel of some sort. Apparently I need to pick them up more often as it didn't look like a mussel to me. After a little nudge I think it's a scorched mussel. Neat little shells!
Happy birthday to Sharmon, beautiful way to spend your special day.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for coming along with me!
Happy Birthday Sharmon - spectacular video on your special day! The mystery shell looks like an oyster of some sort to me
I think the mystery shell is a scorched mussel. Neat little shell!
Happy Birthday❤may your Blessings be many all year long.

Happy birthday Sharmon!
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉😊❤
Thank you!
Happy belated birthday 🎊 Another fun video and beautiful shells!
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday to you! Shelling would be my pick for how to spend my birthday as well. 😊 Just was at Ft. Myers Beach and visited North Captiva on a tour at the beginning of March. It was awesome!! Didn’t find as many fabulous shells as you did but I treasure every one anyway! I knew their names because you have taught me, thank you!
I'm glad you got to experience our beaches and shells for yourself!
Happy birthday! You always put a smile on my face!
