We also visit Shell Island on our dolphin and island tour. Here you can visit the beach and hunt for shells.
Starfish, bay scallops (with sand dollars), whelks, starfish up to 21 inches in length, conchs with a maximum length of 21 inches, seahorses, urchins, hermit crabs, and other crab species are some of the species we often see. These animals can easily be brought to the surface, photographed, and handled with care. So that anyone can view them, even those who are not snorkers, we bring large containers. Any shells found with no living creatures can be taken home.
Dolphin Tours: 8:30 am - Run every two hours 10:30-12:30, 1pm-3:00pm, 3:30pm-5.30pm, 6pm-8pm (Sunset Tour).
