Sanibel doesn't have ALL the shells! Beach Walk + Shelling on Ft Myers Beach Florida. My shell haul!

hello beach friends thank you for allowing me to take you on another one of my beach walks today we're gonna find goodies including critters like the calico box crab a blue eyed hermit crab and something new cloudy periwinkle snails and of course some shells so let's get to it welcome to another swf beach life video if you enjoy beach walks and critters and just the beach in general i do recommend you hit that subscribe button and the notification bell because i drop a new video every week here we are on south fort myers beach it's looking okay i see some shells there on the beach but i have a feeling i'm gonna spend a lot of time in the water today which is one of my favorite ways to shell we're gonna start this off with this cool little olive he's got his perfect little top he's been rolling around in the surf so he's got some things jammed in there look at this nutmeg oh that would have been awesome yeah he's got a hole in it but i kind of like it and this olive oooh he's a big fat one oh he's pretty fabulous little shell and a shark eye he's a little beat up but still he's on intact for all intent and purposes so as i mentioned we are on south fort myers beach i started off in the surf there because you never really know you're kind of like zigzagging back and forth so i figured i'm gonna check out what's going on the beach here definitely see some some shells probably mostly commons but look what we got here that's a little caligo fox crab any pretty he's just enjoying the morning getting himself all pretty for the camera any fun they don't get very big these guys they're relatively common i do see them often some people collect the shells i don't i don't know why maybe one day i will but it's a fun little guy let him do his thing and this is actually a different one as soon as we found that first one here he is a different guy kind of half buried in there pretty oh little scallop not going to find too many of those today i'm going to find some other stuff like this olive oh pretty he must not have been bouncing around too much because he didn't have shells jammed in that opening there's a sarah i wonder what they look like alive i'd love to find one and here's the pier down by south fort myers beach and a good time for me to remind you to if you like this kind of video and these kind of shells and critters please hit that subscribe button here we have another another little scallop and another olive so it looks like today i spent most of the time really kind of watching things picking him out of the surf there florida fighting conch ah he's awesome he does have a layer of like slimy stuff but i think i'm gonna keep him anyway can't help myself there we go there's a blue-eyed hermit crab he's a little shy he's not going to come out and give us a show sorry i disturbed your morning buddy but i just wanted to show my friends and we'll put him back check this out looks like a bristle worm has had a good time on this shell all sorts of chewed up here we have a sunray venus in case you've never found one the shells are actually quite smooth and those colorations are just that they're just colors and a piece of a lightning whelk those have been rather scarce lately let's check it out so here we are we're making our way down the beach another lovely morning just listen to the ocean all right so these aren't these fun these are cloudy periwinkle snails they live just above the tide on stomps rocks and apparently dead trees near the wave splash so they do like to kind of be wet but not directly in the water i think the i just think that they're really kind of cool is to take your time and you're walking down the beach because you never know what other kind of things you're going to come upon now check this guy out he's moving at a snail's pace but he's moving isn't that fun all right back to shelling here we have another olive nice top kind of fat i like him and another sun ray venus pretty pretty i call these blonde florida fighting conch oh really pretty and that is a horse conch i've yet to find one of those big ones that everybody does i haven't done it yet i will though for now i'm gonna have to settle for that and some more olives the guy in the bottom is a little beat up the one on top is looking rather handsome with his top and shiny a piece of coral it's kind of cool too that's also was a critter so it's kind of like same as collecting shells like the skeleton of a critter kind of neat i want another one of those oh looks like he had to repair himself florida fine and conk and quite light oh pretty and here we have most of a nutmeg oh that would have been fabulous but he's a little busted up and another florida fighting that see look at how pretty like the differences those blonde ones and then we have this pretty brown one ooh and a shark eye and i also find it funny because a lot of times when you find one shell you find a lot of the same shell and i think we're going to find that today so now already we've made our way all the way down to the south point of the island that land across all the way in the background that's lover's key and here we have another olive and another shark eye he's pretty he's intact ooh that is a beautiful shark eye i love the color on that it's intact gorgeous shell and another lettered olive i was having a great time just picking them out of the water and another olive most well that really is a piece of a lightning milk interior spindle of it won't womp another nutmeg those are a little easier to find because of the color and here we have a floor defining conch on the left and an olive on the right isn't this funny beautiful perfect not so much on the other side but i thought that was kind of neat i'm keeping it and another one of those blonde florida fighting conks and another shark eye he's not quite as pristine as some of those other ones we found that's all right oh look a colorful moon snail also known as gaudy nautica i love them isn't that pretty and another shark eye so today was definitely a good day for shark guys and olives well speaking of olives looks like my husband probably made a deposit got three olives there and a lightning walk and another lightning welcome three olives take another look up that guy's got a little hole in the back but that's right like i said they're kind of rare these days here we have another critter it's a sand dollar the five-hole keyhole sand dollar he is alive and he has to stay at the beach no live shelling it's alive it's gotta stay look at this chestnut turbine isn't that fun it's got like that same shape as the moon snails but that is a turban he's got his own little decorations going on oh that's so pretty aw little nutmeg perfect little guy this top and another shark eye ah all right he's a little beat up that's all right okay here we go another shark eye florida fighting conch an olive and another florida fighting look how different the juvenile compared to the adult that's kind of been worn down and a seraph another colorful moon now slash gaudinotica awesome not quite as brilliant colors as the other one but nice oh this guy had to repair himself that's another shark eye and another colorful moon snail now this guy definitely has his coloring great but i don't care i'm gonna keep it anyway so this is how i really spent most of the day showing you're kind of in the water there and you're watching things roll around but there was some of that silt so as soon as you thought you saw it it was gone but i really enjoy it i don't know why but you know i'm kind of like me against the surf and i'm gonna find that shell so it's one of my favorite ways to find shells and another shark eye oh yes another one of those colorful ones nails pretty color on him oh and a tulip most of the tool up that guy's kind of beat up what are you gonna do and more that's a banded one on the right for sure maybe can't quite tell that one on the left but those are tulips and another one that's a true tool i've been there pretty ah one of these days i'll get a nice big hole one piece of a shark eye ah tricked me we have enough right another lightning roll all right it's maybe not so rare but definitely haven't been finding a lot lately and so now we're headed back north that was our day that was our haul it was awesome as always and i got to bring home souvenirs so this is our haul for the day we had a couple of sarahs and augers a bunch of those look at that in the middle tons of shark eyes
