Where is the best place to swim with dolphins


Shell Island, an undeveloped barrier island off Florida’s Emerald Coast, is called "Seaside Island". It runs approximately 7 miles east to west. It is composed of graceful sand dunes as well as pine hammocks and shrub forest. Shorebirds and deer can call this inland lake home. Shell Island is protected by the shore, which means that many species of coastal wildlife and endangered species have made their home there.
