"Our Panama City boat tours are a 13-mile boat tour that takes you through the Gulf Coast. You will enjoy unparalleled views. You can also visit Shell Island with the Panama City Boat Tour. It is an island off Panama where you can see incredible sea life including dolphins. It is hard to find another boat tour that packs this much excitement and sightseeing into one day.
St. Andrews State Park's waters are great for experienced and beginning kayakers. There are plenty of great spots for swimming and snorkeling, along with an interesting shoreline. Paddlers who are experienced may wish to make the crossing from Shell Island. It is best to rent a boat and kayaks to explore Shell Island. *****KAYAKS DO NOT AVAILABLE TODAY ******
Shell Island gives you the chance to see old Florida before tourism took over. While we love serving our tourists to share the Florida experience and being there for them, it has become too crowded. Shell Island offers a different experience than Panama City Beach. But you need to go there in order to fully experience the island.
The St. Andrews State Park Campground Camp Store offers beach bike rentals. You can ride around the campground loops, park roads and on the 2-mile paved bike path that runs through the park. This is a great place to spot deer and other wildlife in the park. Two short, easy trails allow for close inspection of the coastal scrub habitats and native pine forest.
The condos are surrounded with asphalt and building materials which cause brownish storm runoff from the rain. Shell Island's water is cleaner than any other beaches. This area could easily mistakenly be mistaken for the Bahamas at any time of the year or season. It's just that beautiful. Shell Island Water Taxi will take you there.
At the southern end of Panama City Beach Florida lies the natural reserve St. Andrews State Park. It includes Shell Island, a barrier island that measures 7 miles in length. This stretch of undeveloped white sand beach, coastal scrubland and pine hammocks is what separates St. Andrews Bay, Florida, from the Gulf of Mexico. Shell Island is a sanctuary for marine wildlife and beach-lovers who are looking to enjoy a day at the beach in a beautiful natural setting, far from the condos and resorts to the north.

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
Shell Island can only be accessed by boat, and the Shell Island Water Taxi is the easiest, safest, and quickest way for visitors to reach Shell Island.
