Sea water is an effective disinfectant but interaction with wild dolphins could lead to disease transmission. These can pose serious health risks to both dolphins and humans. Swimming with dolphins is considered harassment and you don't want to be fined.

True wild dolphins will bite if they get angry, frustrated, or scared. When people attempt to swim with them, they are often disturbed. Dolphins who are career beggars may be aggressive and threatening if they don't get what they want.

Shell island beach was visited twice. The first time we paid PS7.50 to park on the "island", the second time we drove a bit further along the coast to Llanddwywe and found a public parking lot. It is a beautiful, clean beach.

St. Andrew Bay's dolphins are wild animals. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when they will be most active. The season, weather, tide cycles and availability of prey all influence dolphin behavior. There is generally a good chance that dolphins will be seen when the sun is shining and the water is clear and calm. Feeding activities can usually be seen at an outgoing tide. You are best to find a dolphin tour operator such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours, which is available almost every day of the year.
