Shell Island Cruises November 2018
The St. Andrews State Park includes the western half of Shell Island. It is as natural as Florida can get. You won't find yourself stopping at a snack stand or at a picnic table. You will have the opportunity to view some of the most stunning, unspoiled wild land on the East Coast. You will have the opportunity to see endangered species.
Since 1999, Shell Island Snorkeling on the Island Time is a Panama City Beach staple. TripAdvisor has rated us the top Things To Do in Panama City Beach for St. Andrews State Park trips and tours to Shell Island.

These wild animals do what they love in their natural habitat. We observe these animals on their terms, and are sensitive to their moods and activities. It is possible to have encounters quite often, but it is impossible to guarantee that they will happen. The laws of The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1973 and its subsequent amendments as well as the laws of Florida are ours. We are forbidden from harassing or feeding dolphins. Thank you for understanding.
These wild animals live in their natural habitats and do what is best for them. Their behavior and mood dictate how they interact with us. Although encounters are common, we cannot guarantee they. The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1982 and subsequent amendments to it, along with the laws of Florida, bind us. We are strictly prohibited from feeding and harassing dolphins. Thank you for understanding.
St. Andrews State Park Campground Camp Store has beach bike rentals. Ride along the loops and park roads of the campground, or on the 2-mile paved bicycle trail that winds through the park. This trail is great for seeing deer and other park wildlife. There are two easy, short hiking trails in the Park that allow walkers to get a closer look at coastal scrub habitats as well as native pine forests.
Shell Island, a popular spot for snorkeling in Panama City Beach is the best. Start your adventure with Shell Island Cruises.
Shell Island is seven miles of undeveloped scenery between the Gulf and St. Andrew Bay. At one point, Shell Island was inhabited by Native Americans, Spanish Settlers, and even pirates.
Once you get there it is all worth it, as it is the most beautiful water I've ever seen. It is like you are swimming in a pool. It is so crystal clear. We didn't know what to expect so we went planning to spend a few hours on the island. Come expecting to spend all day!
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.
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).
