Skies of blue with seashells in view.
Snorkeling clear water,
Miss SAND DOLLAR, yep, he got her!
Sarah, Tamara and Jay (CT) snorkeled, stooped and combed the beaches of Big Hickory Island on our iLoveShelling adventure with Sight Sea-R Cruises this week. (Sarah- Im so dang sorry I caught you with your eyes closed… but even with your eyes closed you’re a cutie!)
They found some awesome seashells and beach bling treasures.
Meg from WI found a nice shellection (second photo from the top).
Bill and Lisa from Ohio…
Showed me their shell faves that included a ROSE PETAL TELLIN, SUNRAY VENUS, WHELKS, CORAL, OLIVES and a sweet little “candy corn” HORSE CONCH.
Michele and Kendall from Wisconsin …
had some great faves too- ALPHABET CONE, SHARKS EYE, SAND DOLLAR, TULIP, CONCHS, WHELKS and a gorgeous little MAUVE MOUTH DRILL.
Bea from Seminole, FL had lots of luck with the ROSE PETAL TELLINS and also found a sweet BROAD PAPER COCKLE ;).
This is so cool… Linda and Diane just happen to sit beside each other on the boat ride over to the island and found out that they only lived about 10 minutes from each other in Massachusetts. And… they had worked at the same company, knew all the same people and had the same routine. Omigosh- How cool that they met on a shelling trip in Florida!
Malease from Ft Lauderdale…
found an exshellent assortment of shells too. Notice that she found a few SHARKS EYES (some are buried under the other shells too) but that one on bottom right has that SNAIL FUR on it. It’s funny how often we see that on Big Hickory.
Brad, Beau, Gillian, Sand, Kathy and Hayley (New Mexico) found some awesome shells too.
Brad found a nice ALPHABET CONE, Beau and Hayley found some huge chunks of CORAL and everyone found WORMIES!
It was an abshellutely gorgeous day!
Its so much fun to see so many familiar faces and as Linda and Diane met each other, its nice for me to meet new shelling friends as well.. like Cynthia.
Just another reason why i Love Shelling!

Wow, what a nice assortment of shells the group found. Thanks for pointing out the snail fur. I’d never heard that before and have only seen it once.
Pam, you must have more fun than most people. Way to go!!!
nice! I’m thinking I”ll start planning my Dec/Jan trip now. :-) Wish I were there.
great job as usual nice bunch of shells for all and I love shelling r.g.stein
Was this Big Hickory? What company takes tours over there … in mid-June? Do you recommend Big Hickory over Cayo Costa during that time ?
So many seashells! It seems like many people got to enjoy the shells. I love the heart shaped shell. Thanks for sharing!
I love those lightning whelks with the long ‘tails’. :) Looks like a blast!
Great pictures Pam. Love all the shells everyone found. It’s a small world-that Linda and Diana found each other on a shelling trip. We’re coming next year-hope to take another of your cruises. Pat
See u then Pat!
Pam,
My family & I just booked our summer vacation!!! I am so EXCITED! I want to reserve an Iloveshelling trip to Big Hickory on July 7, so I’ll be looking into that today! I love your blog & I spend the last 10-15 minutes of my workdays daydreaming about Sanibel & watching your videos. I hope to see you in July! Thank you so much for your videos & pictures, I enjoy them so much!

Yay! See u in July!
Pam, it was amazing trip. Saw some great wildlife, found some amazing shells and best of all got to me you! Keep doing what your doing. Getting out with nature is so worth it. Maybe someday we will be neighbors. We have our three year strategy in the works!
Always such fun adventures had by all! Everyone finds such
unique shells in abundance. Hope I’m able to go on one of
your cruises someday in the future. In the meantime, keep all
the shelling trip photos coming!
