Shell Island Cruises Key


These are wild animals in their natural habitat doing what they want to do. Our encounters observe them on their terms and depend on what they are doing and their mood. Encounters happen pretty often; however, there is no way that we can guarantee it. We are bound by the laws of The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments, in addition to the laws of the State of Florida. We are not allowed to feed or harass dolphins, so we don’t and are very strict about that. Thank you for understanding.

Which beach has the clearest water in Florida


The western half of Shell Island is part of the St. Andrews State Park. It’s as natural as Florida gets. Which means that you won’t be stopping at a concession stand or stopping at a picnic table. But you will get a chance to see some of the most beautiful, untouched wild land left on the East Coast. Get a chance to see a variety of endangered species.

Sail


It's a great way of enjoying a Shell Island day on the beach by renting a pontoonboat. A pontoonboat is stable, spacious and easy to manage and it's a great way for families or friends to have fun on the water. It's also a great way for Shell Island to be visited. Your private pleasure craft can take you on a cruise through the calm waters of St. Andrew Bay, and then play on the sandy beaches of Shell Island.

You can snorkel around the St. Andrews State Park Jetty and on Shell Island. The habitats vary from sandy bottom to shallow grass flats to the rocky faces in the jetties. You will see tropical fish, crabs and rays. If you're lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle, or one of the resident bottlenose dolphins. You can rent snorkel gear at the Jetty Store or purchase it as part of a package that includes Shuttle tickets for a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
 

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.

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).
