- Enjoy an extended (longer than usual) episode of Plum Island Sea Cabin!
Today's the 1st fallen snow of the season and we are SUPER excited to hit the frozen beach! We braved the cold - there were so many AMAZING things to see, so we spent some extra time on the beach today!
Virtual Shelling In New England! Today's adventure is nothing short of AMAZING! Snow shelling is one of my most favorite things to do - so many shells because who's crazy enough to beach in the snow? lol. Along the way we collect some amazing Atlantic beach finds and embrace the nature and marine life on the Island. Coyote and deer and whelks - oh my!
Todays hunt does not disappoint!
My collection of sea treasure has really grown over the last year so I thought I would share all of my finds with the world and those who love the sea as much as I do.
To purchase some of my finds, visit my shop:

Hi, I am a Fla native, and she’ll often at Boca Grande, Anclote Island in Tarpon Springs etc etc…I have on,y seen snow once in my life and we had to drive to go see it in TN! Your snow beach video was fascinating! Like a winter wonderland when you weee walking and showing the snow falling, just beautiful!! My 3rd grade daughter who wants to see snow, as do I, and I loved watching this, thank you for making this video!😊🌻😎
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for watching! Tell your daughter thank you too and tell her I say hello! Yes...my favorite time to shell is in the snow! You and your daughter will have to plan a trip to Plum Island! You will love the island and the snow ❄️ ❤️ thanks for coming along on my adventure!!!
Wow, I absolutely love the blue shells; particularly the Blue Moon Snails! Thanks for taking us along. I learn something new with each of your vids. 🐚 😎
Hi Lindsay! Thanks for coming along! I am so glad you are enjoying the content and those blue shells sure are dreamy - they are my favs! Stay tuned - I have a new video coming this week! See you on the beach!
Thank you for showing us what’s like to go shelling in the middle of a cold winter day and what you had found. I find it quite fascinating! I thought shelling at 3 a.m. is quite something, but for you to go shelling in the middle of a bitter cold, windy winter day, you deserve a medal for bravery! 😀
Hi Van! Thanks so much for watching. Yes, it was a tad bit chilly out there, but during or after a snowstorm is one of my most favorite times to shell. There is usually no competition so all the great finds are for me 😀 and also - the snow absorbs sound so it's always super quiet and peaceful. We are actually having a big storm today so stay tuned for more icy beach adventures! 🌊❤✌
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin I wait with anticipation to see your next findings! Plum Island is definitely on our bucket list to visit next time we visit New England. We would love to collect some of the seashells from Plum Island for a change in lieu of the same things from Florida. Take care and keep warm! 🙋🏻♀️❤️🙏🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚
Haha - I feel the same when I visit my parents in Florida! I am always on the hunt for a horse conch or a megalodon tooth! When you decide to come to Plum Island, let me know. I'll send you some secret spots to shell! Thanks again for watching!
Love it! Thanks for sharing! What's the orange & black thing in your intro? It looks like glass. BlessU, Mi in Hawaii ❤
* Your Moon Snail find was Amazing & Huge.. really lovely.. Thanks for telling us about Muscles & Muscle Beds & How they are destroyed by dredging, etc..
Hi Leslye! Thanks so much for checking out my channel. I really appreciate it! Yes - Moon shells are my absolute favorite find! The largest I've ever found on Plum Island measured in at 4.25". I'm hoping to break that record this winter after some good storms! Thanks for watching!
It’s cool to see the sand dollars you have on your Atlantic coast line. I live in SC and we have keyhole sand dollars here. Seeing your sand dollars without holes in them are quite unique looking to me. And your HUGE moon snails are awesome.
Enjoying your channel. Please find you some thin, warm, waterproof gloves, you will be glad you did once you get used to them. Blessings
Hi Wanda!
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it! Yes! I have a friend that lives in GA and she visits Hilton Head SC. She sends me pictures of the sand dollars there with the keyholes/ lanules they are awesome! I am looking forward to visiting her and hitting the beach :) I will be sure to look into some of those gloves. Thanks for the pro tip! Happy New Year!
The mussels are quite pretty with the barnacles on them.
Hi Andouille! Happy New Year! Yes...I have a small collection of them. They are super pretty the way the sun bleaches the barnacles 😍
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin And Happy New Year to you and yours likewise!
I love watching your videos because I am from Massachusetts and used to go to the beach a lot. I now live in Michigan and miss the ocean so much! We used to bring home tons of sand dollars and muscles and moon snails, and my dad used to use those surf clams as ash trays!
Hi Eilsa!
Thanks for watching my channel! What part of MA are you from? I love that you used to live here and are a local. ✌ Yes...the large surf clams...people would use them for ashtrays and still do! A lot of people use them for jewlery trinket trays to hold rings and jewlery. Some are very artistic and decorative 😍
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin I was born in Newton but grew up mostly in waltham. I went to college at UMASS Amherst, lived in Medford for a while but moved here in 1999 and stayed. But I miss it so much!! Especially the beaches. We used to go to good harbor and wingarsheek a lot but also plum island when I as a kid. Have you aways lived there?
@@elisabrieger6650 Hi Elisa! I know all of those places in MA :) ❤ I have been living in MA for over 20 years, but I was born and raised in Norwalk CT. I have never been to Wingarsheek - it's on my list for 2022! I've never heard of Good Harbor, but I will look it up! Thanks again for supporting my channel 🌊✌❤
Elise, check out "Michigan Rocks" & Learn about the shells in the lakes near you..
@@leslyeschoenhuth1107 I do have that book. I should look through it again!
We are expecting a bit of snow tonight… another great video
Thanks so very much Tina! Stay safe and warm and enjoy the frosty weather ❤✌🌊❄
Thank you.
You are very welcome!!
Happy new year my friend. You looked so cold whilst shelling. AJ and I are hopefully going to get to the beach tomorrow. It's been raining a lot and quite cold on the coast. The blue moon snail shells are lovely and of course sand dollars 🥰🥰
Hello my Scotland friends! Thank you and AJ for watching. Yes...it was chilly, but so worth it. The beach was so peaceful - it was a great day to explore! I am so excited you will be beaching tomorrow! Please report back with any amazing finds! I would love to hear the details of your beach hunt. Bundle up friends and have fun on the beach! 🌊✌❤
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin we always enjoy virtual shelling with you. Definitely will report back to you and maybe even take a wee video of our east coast and post it in a message on Instagram. Won't be as good as yours though Haha. Will bundle up and taking a flask of tea with us as it was frosty at 7pm tonight.
@@amandamiller7513 Awesome! I love your sense of adventure with this! I would LOVE a video 😍 stay safe and warm! Fingers crossed you find that groatie bucket shell!!
I loved your mussel demo/discussion today. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kim! Thank you so much! I had a little trouble showing the bysuss (I could have used another hand) haha. That stuff is so strong. Thank you so much for watching. Happy New year friend!
Great finds and hope Florida is soon u need to warm up ☺️
Yes! I could use a little balmy beach in my life. I had so many layers on today I had a hard time bending to pick up shells 🤣
Heck I’d love to loose my mind in that sort of way!! Totally jelly I can’t wait till I can get myself to the beach this winter
Hi Brittany! Yes...sometimes the peace, quiet and alone time with the ocean on a snowy morning fills the soul. All that salty goodness **sigh** 🌊❤✌ Hope you make it to the beach soon and until then, thanks for coming with me on my virtual beach adventures!
Try surgical gloves to pick and when your hands get cold you can put your mittens on! I always search there for shark teeth, Haven't found one but I know someone who actually found quite a large one, most likely a great white seeing as though there had been quite a bit of predation of seals in the area that summer
You must have a lot of great finds! You metal detect too right!? Very cool. I would explode with excitement if I found a Shark tooth here! My parents live in Florida and we visit Manasota Beach every year near Venice. We find hundreds of fossilized shark teeth there. We are always looking for a megladon tooth! Just like the seahorse here...I hope to find a megladon tooth there. People find them often! Thanks for watching! The gloves are a good idea!
You need a pair of scuba gloves for winter shelling in yout area - I think it would definately help 😊
Around 16:50 in the background there was a huge purple rock. Do you know what that is? Enjoyed your explanation of mussel beds. Wonder how they make fabric from that fiber? Hugs from Virginia!
Hugs right back to you from Plum Island!! Not sure what type of rock that is, but it is very cool. So many awesome rocks on the island. If you want to get your mind blown about Bysuss and how it's made into fabric. Paste this link into your browser. Oh my goodness so amazing! 👉 www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33691781.amp?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#aoh=16477031996931&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fmagazine-33691781
I love your rings! Where did you find them?
One (the round one), I found on the street. Lol. The band was crushed, but I took a pair of pliers and bent it back into form. The T & Co. One was a gift that I bought my wife in 1999. She never wore it so I reclaimed it 😆
Another awesome shelling video! What part of the island is this?
Hi Angelisa! Thank you so much. This is the Southernmost tip of the Island. Bar Head and Emerson Rocks.
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin It’s so amazing that there are so many great spots to shell on Plum Island! Thanks for sharing!!💕
@@angelisa368 Yes! It has both a wide variety and a good amount that washes up! Win Win! Thanks for watching!
Im curious to know what you do with all those giant snail shells? I would make a rock garden, mabe with a rock trellis with shells on it here n there. 🤗
Hi Gayle! 👋
I have a collection that was really growing. I started only keeping the unique ones because my collection was getting pretty big. I also bring some back every now and again and
like Leaving them for hermit crabs and other marine life to use as protection. But the ones I do have, I display in my home so that I have a little bit of the sea inside. Others I sell in an Etsy shop I started last year...a lot of people enjoy adding them to their personal collections and people with pet hermit crabs need them as their crabs grow. Shops don't sell shells as large 😞 and the moon snail shells are perfect 😃 😍✌🌊
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin , brilliant idea that you do that! I live in the midwest n always find myself drawn to tropical plants n beaches. Sea shells/rocks are included in that desire. So much so that i started trying to crochet sea shells. Really not a lot of patterns out there surprizingly. But the ones i did find are fantastic. Your channel brings new ideas to me everytime i watch, lol. I must say tho, you are extremely brave to shell in the winter! Im in awe that you do that, 🤗.
@@gaylescovel7308 I love that you crochet seashells ❤ I have a friend that crochets crabs and octopi. They are very cute. It's funny because I am cold all the time, but when I'm it the beach and I'm moving, it gets really warm. The keyboard to keep moving! ✌❤🌊
Girl you have lost your mind..hehehe
Hey Annette! Haha 😄 Thanks for watching! It was a little chilly, but still double digits. The shells were at least not frozen to the sand 🤣
You don’t Keep the tiny shells?? 🙁
I do! Some of them I put back though.
