It was great fun to relax on the catamaran while watching out for dolphins. We also enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. The staff were great! We also saw many sting rays and dolphins. There were very few fish that we could see while snorkeling but it was still a lot of fun.

Schedule


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 stop at a food court or 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.
