EPIC SHELLING Post Idalia Sunset n PassAGrille part 1 of 4

Hurricane Idalia was pretty tough on Florida's beaches - but the shelling has been just UNbelievable! Let's dive in to rare & incredible finds and get a peekk at what things looked like immediately following Idalia before anything was cleaned up - the tide is still WAY High with storm surge and king tide still receding this morning when we arrived at Pass-A-Grille.

After some amazing are rare finds, we head next to Sunset Beach for a first look at the beach before they closed things again. The dunes were decimated but the beach was covered with goodies we rarely get to find. The parking lots are currently closed off as the city trucks in sand for emergency dune repairs to this ecologically sensitive area - and expected to stay closed for at least a month while they replenish the dunes. For more on that, be sure to check out my most recent update in the Mostly Storms playlist...

This video will be the first in a 4 part series that will also include Lido Key, Long Boat Key, Anna Maria Island, cleaning and identifying the haul, and just BAGS of shells! Get ready for some shell insanity with a front row seat to some wild finds!
