Florida Shelling Jupiter Island; We traveled FROM the seashell capital of the world to find shells.

i'm a lucky gal i live in southwest florida and i get to visit beaches every weekend you'll normally find me at fort myers beach or lovers key or maybe santa bell where the beaches are world famous for finding seashells here we see the sanibel lighthouse which i can almost always see in the distance from one of the beaches we're exploring and here we see the jupiter inlet lighthouse which we got to visit on a recent trip to the east coast of florida i was itching to see what i would find when we visited some beaches on the east coast and friends i was not disappointed welcome to another swf beach life video if you're obsessed with the beach like i am i recommend you subscribe to my channel because every week i'm bringing you some sort of beachy goodness so we had just gotten into the area and i said all right let's just take a drive to the beach let's just go check it out so at the end of this tree-lined street it goes to a parking lot we get out to the beach and it's this it's gorgeous this is at a park called hobe sound and or hobe sound beach and it i guys it was just silly pretty so after appreciating that i want to go see what kind of goodies are on the beach and i find this bittersweet clam we're gonna find a lot of those today which we don't have on the west coast or at least i've never found one look at this looks like candy i was fascinated with these guys they were everywhere and here we have a jingle that's something i'm used to so i was excited to go see what other kind of cool things there are there's another one i know it's just a clam but still i'll show you a couple it won't be all these but they were i did i really thought they were cool here's a turkey wing we have those on the east coast as well on the west coast rather looks like that's a traveler type of guy guys it was beautiful it was absolutely stunning that is another one of those spectral bittersweet clams i just love them here's something cool that's what i'm pretty sure all right i'm going to go with like 90 sure that that is a scaly scallop i was fascinated at how flat it was and there's more those are they're actually they're called spectral bittersweet we have a kitten paw that looks like it's trying to pretend it's a lion's paw and yes another one of those candy shell the spectral bittersweet clam all right that's just a piece but that to me looks like it is a crown conch it could be obviously i could totally be wrong but that's what i'm thinking that is all right here we have looks like a calico scallop i think and an olive lovely little examples of shells and another one of those scaly scallops i just thought they were so cool plus they're bright orange they're kind of flat i don't find them on the west coast so i was thoroughly enthralled with those guys i thought they were really neat all right now this is something i do not usually find i think i might have found once one once that i believe is a leafy jewel box it's kind of different i was looking for something different i found different um digging those straight clams i just all right so if you're from the east coast you probably think i'm bonkers because they're everywhere no big deal but i never got to see them so i was thoroughly enthralled all right this guy's a little new to me i believe this is a giant bittersweet clam i think if not let me know i'm doing a did some research a little bit of guessing but uh i'm not used to these shelves which was so cool like this guy who i think again i think that's an atlantic thorny oyster that just was kind of smoothed out which i wouldn't be surprised man the the ocean is a lot rougher than the ocean we uh see in the gulf so not surprised if that used to be spiky and that's another one of those leafy jewel boxes i love the bright color so i'm gonna even if it's kind of a weird looking shell i'm gonna go right for it guess what that is that is a piece of a lion's paw i was really hoping i would find a piece so i was pretty psyched even just a piece i was okay with so i was psyched with that oh and here we have a sculptured top snail that's a fun little find that's something else that we do have on the west coast and this we find a plethora of here's a lightning milk it's pretty well beat up again not surprised but nice to see something from home all right i think i think maybe this is a atlantic harry triton but just a little guy it stumped me i looked again i think that's what that is so if you do know please leave me a comment that we know that's a cake that's well that's actually not cake it's an olive and that is another piece of a lion's paw a little bit bigger it's got those knobby knuckles isn't it cool just the piece i was happy with okay here we have a moon snail now that looks a little different to me i usually find these shark eyes and they're just like taller that guy looks like flat on top different oh and sea glass usually i find a glass that's garbage but that looks to me like some sea glass all right that again having a little bit hard time identifying it but i think that that is an atlantic thorny oyster and so this was the view not too shabby huh oh it was so pretty but the sand was really dark like almost black and it was really really hot so that was something that was different you were kind of scooching as quick as you can to the water so you don't burn your feet another olive who's he's pretty well beat up and an auger and another turkey wing pretty little guy and another olive that's pretty good he's got his top and everything and i i don't know don't know what this is i'm just going to call that the strawberry shell because it kind of reminded me of a strawberry it's a scallop obviously but i really don't know what kind pretty it's a pretty one and that again i'm a little more convinced that that one is the um that atlantic thorium thorny say that six times fast thorny oyster i think and there's another one of those bittersweet clams they're spectral bittersweet clams and another piece of lion's paw yay i really was psyched with that it's really cool that you're like familiar with the shells then you actually find a piece for yourself i don't know if you like shells you know what i'm talking about okay now this i'm pretty sure is a leafy jewel box i'm glad that i usually turn them over like so i can show you guys get a little bit easier to identify if you can see the top and the bottom but not always another piece of lion's paw so success ooh that's pretty good size auger another one of those scaly scallops oh those they're so cool i was just fascinated about how flat they were guys i'm pretty sure that's a whole lion's paw it's a little one it's a little one but isn't it cool i hope that's what it is if somebody knows for sure let me know in the comments all right he's broken but i thought he was kind of neat you can see all the ridges on that other side i thought that was kind of cool and a kitten's paw now you can kind of see the difference between a kitten's paw and a lion's paw kitten's paw we find all the time another little scallop i do like those orange scallops what do we got here okay i think again that's a scaly scallop but he's not as orange as the other guys which is nice find some variety all right no clue i looked it up i tried to figure it out i looked at the aperture i looked at the other side this i'm just calling mystery shell because i really have no idea what that guy is and that is a shark eye all right that at least that i find all the time i really really really like them it's a swell shell and that's just a speckled crab but i figured i'd show you i've also encountered those on the west coast that was kind of fun all right here it looks like an apple mirex there's one of those bittersweets and um we got another mystery piece there so showing you stuff we've never seen before and can't even identify that's definitely a little lion's paw so cool and another one of those bittersweet oh they're so neat okay piece of a scaly scallop if i pick up enough pieces i can make a whole one right what do we got here don't know this i didn't want to keep it either look at this little guy isn't he fun that's a striped false limpet usually um a lot of olympics have a hole in it they're called keyhole limpets but that guy called a false limpet he's fun here's a little bubble i have a great story about bubbles that i'm going to share with you in the next video okay the top of a shark eye or at least a moon snail not sure if it's a shark eye i couldn't i couldn't resist i have to show you again it was really really pretty that color of the water oh my gosh thank you florida thank you florida for being so awesome okay another little olive another lion's paw i think i'm pretty sure 95 sure that's a lion's paw and maybe again it's that atlantic thorny oyster maybe check this guy all right this was really cool it's only a piece but this i know is an atlantic harry triton that at least is big enough you can see the color it's it's broken but there's enough of the shell to give you some clue as to what that guy was even just a piece i thought it was cool so this is my first excursion out my first east coast haul i really was in love with those bittersweet guys those clams were so cool it was nice to see olives and those other those scaly scallops those were really cool a couple jingles and let's see what else do we have some leafy jewel boxes of course the lion's paws those were really cool and a couple of mystery shells which i loved i love researching digging in trying to figure out what it was i consulted the book and i'm gonna need some help some identification on some of these so i hope you guys enjoyed going to the east coast as much as i did in the next video we're going to a really cool beach it's called coral cove park again ridiculously beautiful and we find some other shells that we've never found before so that's going to be really cool that'll be next week i'll see you then thank you as always for watching you guys are the best
