We went shelling AGAIN on Cayo Costa the state park but today wasn’t as productive as the last time. Shelling is best when done at low tide and low tide was at 9:00 am this morning and the Ferry got us there around 10:00. For the first hour or so we had lots of success but after the tide started coming in, we weren’t quite as lucky. We found lots of olives and some whelks and lots of shells but not much more. The day was perfect weather-wise and I would highly recommend the trip for someone visiting Pine Island. We took the ferry over from Jug Creek in Bokeelia and spent about 6 hours at the state park on the island. There were campers staying there as well in cabins and tents, but there’s no electricity and no air conditioning of course, so I’ll stick with “glamping” in my Montana.
Showing how clear the water is. You can see my feet and HEY I found an olive while taping this video!!!!
This is our “ferry” coming to pick us up. It’s an old Disney boat!! Retired from Disney and ended up in Pine Island. Too slow for Disney!!
