Shell Island Boats Used
Shell Island is just one part of the tour. We will be crossing the island. We often see dolphins swimming in the area. Keep an eye out for them. A charter fishing trip could include a Shell Island stop.
Snorkeling is great around the St. Andrews State Park beach, and also on Shell Island. Habitats can range from the sandy bottom to shallow grassy flats to the rock faces of the jetties. See tropical fishes, crabs, rays, sea turtles, and bottlenose dolphins if you are fortunate. Snorkel equipment can be rented from the Jetty Store. You may also purchase it as part or a complete package with Boat tickets on a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.

The natural reserve of St. Andrews State Park, located in Panama City Beach Florida's south-eastern part of the city, includes the Shell Island barrier island (7 miles long). The undeveloped stretch of beach, scrubland and pine hammocks that separate St. Andrews Bay is separated from the Gulf of Mexico's open waters. Shell Island is home to wildlife and marine animals. It's a paradise for beach lovers who want to spend a day in a natural setting far from the condominiums and resorts that line the northern shore.
* We pick-up and drop off approximately 2.25 miles down the Island at the State Park Docks.
We have pontoon boats that can be used for cruising or family fun. Or Boston Whalers that can be used for fishing. Available for half-day and full day rentals...

Every year, visitors flock to the white sands of Panama City Beach, and each year they are joined by some 200 different species of shark. Both are drawn to the area's crystal clear waters and abundant sea life. The double sandbar system at Panama City Beach creates a deep water channel close to shore
The waters around Shell Island are home to a large group of bottlenose dolphins. You can encounter these amazing marine mammals at home in their natural habitat on one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
