I really enjoyed this one since we've been to St. Kitts, twice, on cruise stops and even spent a few hours at Cockleshell beach the first time in 2013. Unfortunately it was the one rainy day of that cruise but I still loved it and found some great smaller shells. And I know exactly what you mean about all of the ark shells and turkey wings! Second time in 2015 we spent the day at South Friar's Bay (Shipwreck Beach) after going to the fort, which we loved, great views and it was just beautiful that day. Great shelling snorkeling in the water at Shipwreck, even some nice sand dollars out further which you have to free dive for. Only collected one and got it back in one piece. I'm addicted to your videos now, so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Congrats on those beautiful finds and thank you for sharing!

Wowsah, it sounds like you have had some great adventures at this location! I had to do a little pre-research before heading out on the day trip here from the cruise. I noticed that Turtle Beach(the other beach in this video), seemed to be a little more remote and within walking distance of Cockleshell. Both beaches were amazing - Turtle was more of the wild Atlantic, and Cockleshell was the calmer Caribbean. I am so glad to hear you enjoy all of this content!

@@solaceinshelling6552 if we get back, I'll have to check out Turtle Beach, would love to get back to Cockleshell as well for those views on hopefully a sunny day since I love getting pics too. Unfortunately Carnival Cruise Lines apparently no longer allows beach collected shells to be brought back on their ships. When we cruised last, in 2015, they were allowed. Looking forward to watching more videos, hopefully this week. Thank you again!

Hi friend! Yea the beach wasn't crowded at all on the Atlantic side, but there were definitely quite a few folks on the calmer, Caribbean side. Thanks for the great feedback!

Hello friend! I have quite a few large helmet shells already in my collection. This particular Helmet shell was very nice, but it would have weighed my suitcase down quite a bit, when traveling back. Additionally, the location where I found it was about a mile away from where I started walking initially so it would have been a bit of a hassle to carry it back across the rocks on the Atlantic side. Thanks so much for watching!

Awesome footage! Great finds! I was wondering about your shoes. Are they water shoes or just regular tennis shoes and if they are tennis shoes how do you dry them out after your shelling trips? 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚

Hello! These were water shoes that I brought with me on the cruise I went on in December last year for this trip! I purchased them on Amazon, but unfortunately they broke by the end of the trip!

How do know the difference between an arch shell and a turkey wing?

Interesting question! So the "Zebra Ark" Shell is the more formal name for this particular shell, but it is also very commonly known as a "Turkey Wing". You'll hear it referenced as both! Thanks for watching!
