It was great fun to relax on the catamaran while watching out for dolphins. We also enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. The staff were great! We also saw many sting rays and dolphins. There were very few fish that we could see while snorkeling but it was still a lot of fun.
We love our dolphins and want them all to prosper for future generations. We wish they were as excited as we to see them. Unfortunately, they would be fed by people on boats which is illegal, and ultimately, dangerous, for the dolphins.
Snorkeling is safe and easy for people of all ages. One of the best things about Shell Island is that the calm shallow water behind the jetty is the perfect place for first-time snorkelers to try the sport.
Shell Island is a nature preserve with no restrooms or any other visitor facilities such as trash receptacles, picnic tables, or shade pavilions. There is no trash removal service. Island visitors are asked to be responsible and take everything they bring to the Island with them when they leave.
Shell Island has a fascinating amount of local wildlife including dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the lake on the island, marsh rabbits, racoons and more.
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
