Snorkeling


Shell Island, Panama City Bay, is one of the most beautiful examples of Florida's stunning natural world outside of the parks. For generations, it's been the Florida that draws people to this area. It is wild, beautiful and pristine. Shell Island, an undeveloped barrier island off Panama City Beach's coast, measures approximately 7 miles from east to west. It is well-known for its beautiful inland lake, its sand dunes, scrub forests, pine hammocks and its gorgeous scrub forests. There are many species of wildlife that can be found on the island, including ghost crabs and nesting shorebirds as well as deer and other endangered species like green and loggerhead turtles.

Shell Island is still undeveloped. You will not find any restrooms, trash cans, picnic pavilions, or concession stands on Shell Island. You should be prepared and bring everything you need to avoid littering and water contamination in this beautiful oasis.

Dolphin Tour



The St. Andrews State Park encompasses the western half Shell Island. It's as Florida-like as you can get. It doesn't mean you won’t be stopping at a food court or a picnic table. You will still have the chance to see some beautiful, unspoiled wilderness on the East Coast. A variety of endangered species can be seen.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's one of the best places in Panama City Beach. Shallow pools can be found with fish and sea life. Plus the clear water in the Gulf is perfect to get out with the family. So bring your snorkeling gear or rent it from a local tour operator.

How long can I stay on Shell Island? There is no time limit on your stay, but you must catch the last Shuttle off the Island at the end of the day.

Agree with above, go around 11 a.m., to get the best of daytime sun, because April has some fairly cool days. over a year ago. I'd plan for late morning/early afternoon. There's no shade so if it is really warm you don't want to be there at the absolute hottest part of the day.
