Panama City Beach is just one of many amazing spots for swimming or snorkeling that you can find in Bay County, Mexico.
Harassment refers to chasing, torturing and/or following animals. It is any act that may disrupt their natural behaviors. I'd add jumping in the water to that list. If you want to swim with wild dolphins ethically it is best to let them take charge.
In order to protect the well-being of these wonderful marine creatures, Florida law prohibits swimming with dolphins as well as touching or feeding them. Officers from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission are on the water to ensure that these rules are followed. However, you may be lucky enough to have dolphins approach the tour boat quite closely, giving you an excellent view and great photo opportunity. If you would really like to have the possibility of encountering wild dolphins in the water, taking one of our Shell Island Snorkel Tours is a good option as the dolphins sometimes swim near snorkelers.
Since many years we have taken guests on dolphin tours. We strictly follow all safety guidelines to ensure our guests' safety as well as the welfare of the dolphins.

It is worth the effort once you reach it. This is some of my favorite water spots. It's almost like swimming in a pool. We were unsure what to expect so we decided to spend some time on the island. Expect to spend the whole day there!

We went twice to shell island beach. We paid PS7.50 for parking on the island. A second time, we drove further down the coast towards Llanddwywe to find a public park. The beach is huge and beautiful.

What is the best time to see dolphins in Florida? The best time to see dolphins in Florida is from May through August. You are most likely to see them between 10 and noon and then again from 2 p.m. until it gets dark.
In a fight with a dolphin, a shark would prevail. They are more agile, faster and more sensitive to predation than other animals. Their mouths can actually be large enough to attack a dolphin and cause fatal injuries.
