One of my BEST shelling days, ever - Palm Beach, FL

Published 2021-06-16
Southeast Florida is a unique location because the Gulf Stream Current flows northward right off shore, having an impact on climate and biodiversity in the region. From The Keys north to Palm Beach, this Caribbean originating warm water system aids in providing habitat for a rich and diverse assortment of shell species to the area. Consequently, unique and tropical shell treasures will often be washed onto the beaches in SE Florida!

Put on your sunblock and get your shell bags ready!

    Absolutely epic day of shelling! I can't believe how many fantastic goodies you found! I'm going to have to give the West Coast another try for sure. Congrats on all your great finds!

    We go to Sanibel at least once a year, but this year we checked out Navarre Beach Island up by Destin in the panhandle. Lots of different shells that we've never found on Sanibel. Boatloads of Bittersweets, quite a few Scotch Bonnets, Cabrit Murexes, an excellent Queen's Helmet, and an Atlantic Distortio with only a few pinholes in it. The water was too rough to snorkel when we were there, but I understand that shallow snorkeling is a great way to find shells there. Thanks for this great video! Now we have to check out Southeast Florida!

    Afraid I would have left the beach and gone to buy a wheeled barrow to collect EVERYTHING!! So many, so beautiful. HUGE sharks eyes, what an amazing place. Stay safe x

    You need a big shell bag, what great finds, thank you for sharing.
  • Hey! I’ve watched this video three times over the past couple months because the beach is breathtaking and I can’t believe how many amazing shells you found that day. Loved the sundials, hairy tritons, queen helmets, lion paws, scotch bonnets, gorgeous huge shark eyes (that one that had unusual colors), nutmegs, green stars…just an amazing haul. Wow. Soooo much fun. Your info on the area was fascinating, as well. Thanks so much for sharing these fab videos. 🥰 🐚 Take care.

    I have watched this video so many times. I love it because I was snowbird in Palm Beach for 16 years. You picked the Perfect day! I have come close, but never found so many species in one day. I am so happy to see you find many of my favorite shells. I also sad because my beautiful collection was dumped in the trash when we unexpectedly had to sell our home in the summer. But seeing you being so excited brings back beautiful memories. By the way, queen conchs do live on the east coast. There were HUGE ones in the Jupiter inlet. So sadly a big release of water from Lake Okeechobee killed them. I re-watch several of your videos. Thank you soooo much for making them.
  • It’s nice to see a man get so much enjoyment out of shelling . Cheers. Nancy & Sterling from Canada

    Wow...some fantastic shelling! I am on the Northwest panhandle of Florida, but never knew how beautiful the water was in the Palm Beach area! Happy shelling!

    Great shelling! I always bring an extra grocery bag when shelling just in case the shelling is good. I use a net bag to which I've hooked a shoulder strap. This way the bag is hanging at my side and frees my hands for shelling! Some of those Scotch Bonnets had great color.
  • @paulknight160
    I just found you. GREAT VIDEO AND INCREDIBLE FINDS FOR ONE DAY SHELLING. I was a snowbird in that area and collected over 160 different shells over 14 years but NEVER had a day like yours. Congratulations!
  • Great place to go! It’s amazing how many different types of shells you found. For one, that huge cowrie blew my mind.
  • @bmiller7017
