The expert and experienced guide will take you to the grassy shallows of Shell Island. You might see sea stars and sea horses in the shallow waters surrounding Shell Island.

You might also be able to find an uninhabited shell that you can bring home.
Panama City Beach does not have a coral-reef environment for snorkeling. However snorkelers report good visibility, up to 20 feet of fish, many small hermits crabs, and other wildlife for kids to enjoy.
