My 1st Trip to #Marco: #Tigertail, #Kice & Cape Romano Dome Home

Published 2024-04-28
The name, “Marco” sparks excitement in many shellers and it sure does get me all excited! Come walk with me as I share my first trip to Marco Island in 2021. Visiting Tigertail Beach on the main island then the next day taking a shelling tour by boat out to Kice Island. So thankful to be able to see the legendary dome homes too that unfortunately after hurricane Ian are no longer standing. Join me, let’s walk Marco Island! Virtual shell hunting on one of Florida’s most beautiful natural islands.

    I live in SC and my husband go down to Marco about twice a year. This sparked my love for shelling. I always walk around the lagoon. I have never been courageous enough to go through the lagoon. Thanks for sharing God’s beauty.

    Florida Beach Walks, This is awesome! I subscribed because I want to see more!
  • We really enjoy your program. We've been coming down to the Gulf coast of Florida for a few years now and we really appreciate your shell knowledge. You've fast become our favorite sheller!

    loved seeing tiger tail and kice, 2 places I'll be visiting in July. enjoy the beach walks with you and the bible verse at the end. I decided many months ago that any time i get to step on a beach I will be reading Genesis 1:20 - 23 and being thankful to be allowed to experience the 5th day of creation!! even if I go every single day!!
  • love, Love, LOVE #Tigertail Beach! Spent a month in Naples and most every weekend day on that beach looking for shells. Never did cut through the Lagoon though 🙂The very tip of Tigertail is an awesome spot for shelling
  • @kristibruns6111
