We often see a variety starfish, sanddollars, bay scallops and whelks. Also, conchs up 21 inches long, seahorses and urchins as well as hermit crabs and other species of crabs are all common. These animals can be brought to surface and photographed. Large containers are brought so that everyone can see them close up before they're released into the bay. You can take home any shells that are not made of living creatures.

We will be departing Historic Grand Lagoon to take a relaxing, 25-minute trip out to Shell Island, where we'll snorkel. You should be looking out for dolphins or other sea animals as they are in their natural habitats. Our boat will dock in the Gulf of Mexico. Shell Island is the next stop. There you can snorkel, find seashells, learn about the marine life around the area, or simply relax and take in the sunshine. You can also explore the shallows of Shell Island and hunt for shells. After some time spent at Shell Island we will continue our trip to the Gulf of Mexico, where we will search for dolphins. We'll also be stopping to sight-see along this route.
We will bring you as close as we can to dolphins, while also ensuring their safety. The dolphins decide how close they want and how much interaction they want. "Passive observation" is a practice that allows dolphins to approach us. Our guests often have unforgettable encounters with dolphins at St. Andrews Bay. They are playful and interactive and will always remember them.
