The St. Andrews State Park covers the western portion of Shell Island. It's as Florida is. So you won't need to stop at a restaurant or at a picnic spot. But you'll have the opportunity to see some of East Coast's most beautiful wild land. This tour will allow you to see many endangered species.
The Grand Lagoon is a great spot to go on a Panama City Beach Snorkeling Adventure. Our snorkel trip captains are well-versed in the best spots at the St. Andrews State Park dock and Shell Island.

You can either rent snorkel gear from Panama City Beach or buy it as part your Panama City Beach snorkel trip package.

Though the area boasts an average of 320 days of sunshine per year, late spring, summer and early fall offer some of the warmest air and water temperatures. Plus, by avoiding a visit in March or April, you'll dodge the deluge of college students who descend on the area's ivory sands every year for spring break.
There is still an amazingly pristine, uninhabited island just waiting to be explored. Shell Island is a barrier island, a 7-mile stretch of undeveloped land nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrews
This island is not as secluded as you see on the pictures and we couldn't find any of the cool shells either. (I understand that it's nature and can't be controlled).
