St. Andrew Bay has one of the most significant resident populations of bottlenose Dolphins. These iconic gray dolphins are well-known to many people through television, movies and marine parks. Although wild dolphins are found in St. Andrew Bay, they are used and comfortable with humans. Boaters can often be seen among the feeding, playing, and swimming dolphins.

Panama City Beach is the perfect spot for beginners to get the feel of snorkeling and it is also a great place to start a snorkel safari. Exploring along the jetty and out toward the entrance to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico will offer the chance to spot tropical fish, crabs, rays, and other small marine animals.
Generally, there is a good chance of seeing dolphins any time the sun is out and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are normally seen on an outgoing tide. Your best bet is to choose a dolphin tour operator like Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours that is on the water nearly every day of the year.
