Do you have to go to the beach to find shells? The answer is NO! I have been wanting to visit this marsh and since the tides were not in my favor all week, I decided to finally visit Harms Marsh.

But as luck would have it, there are PLENTY of shells to go around and I am on a mission to find some cones. Low tide is definitely going to help!

    Some of the birds you thought were turkey vultures were not. They flew too fast. Vultures soar and are awkward near the ground. They have great eye sight but even better sense of smell. Yup, they can smell dead animals from a great distance. I loved the land snails and the muscles. It would be interesting to try making buttons with them.

    Always love your videos. We like to take shelling vacations to the gulf coast. Used to stay on Sanibel. Last year we went to Marco. This year we are looking for a house big enough for 8. I found a vrbo on the very south end of Estero Island right across from Lovers Key. Is that a good place to shell? In this video you said you liked to shell in that part of Fort Myers Beach. Exactly what part do you think is the best?

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife 3 дня назад

      If where you are staying is by the bridge from Estero Island to Lovers Key it's a fabulous place to shell! Now getting on over to the beach is another story. There is no proper access down there. Last time I went I was going to walk under the bridge, but it's. under construction so I changed my mind. I had to walk up the street and trespass on someone's property that has no home on the lot right now. Before you rent, ask where the beach access is. It's a GREAT location for shelling but you need proper/safe beach access.

    • @brendalunsford2530
      @brendalunsford2530 2 дня назад

      It is right on the beach…sort of. But it is about 400 yards from the house to the water. At least according to the photos there is a very big sandy area right on the end of the island the rental is only a few houses from the bridge. It is a white hexagon/octagon house with a blue roof. Maybe you have seen it.

And it’s more expensive than some of the places we were looking at in Cape Coral. How is the parking on the south end of Estero island? Even if we don’t pick that house and we stay in Cape Coral I was wondering how easy it would be to park so we could go shelling on the end of the island?

Since then,I stay far away from the boat docks And waters edge. If there is a raised platform to stand on, I’ll look in the water from there.
