Heath and his team were great! They took care everything. Everyone had a great time. They are definitely deserving of a raise.
St. Andrews State Park's waters are great for experienced and beginning kayakers. There is plenty to see and do, including great snorkeling and swimming spots. Paddlers who are experienced may wish to make the crossing from Shell Island. It is best to rent a boat and kayaks to explore Shell Island.

Continue on North Lagoon, as if heading towards Captain Anderson's. You will pass their parking lot as well as the Lighthouse Marina after the turn. Then we will be on the right under the trees/down a gravel street. You will see signs with our company name at the front.
You can snorkel around the St. Andrews State Park Jetty and on Shell Island. The habitats vary from sandy bottom to shallow grass flats to the rocky faces in the jetties. You will see tropical fish, crabs and rays. If you're lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle, or one of the resident bottlenose dolphins. You can rent snorkel gear at the Jetty Store or purchase it as part of a package that includes Shuttle tickets for a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.

Shell Island is just one part of the tour. We will be crossing the island. We often see dolphins swimming in the area. Keep an eye out for them. A charter fishing trip could include a Shell Island stop.
The waters around Shell Island are home to a large group of bottlenose dolphins. You can encounter these amazing marine mammals at home in their natural habitat on one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
Once you get there it is all worth it, as it is the most beautiful water I've ever seen. It is like you are swimming in a pool. It is so crystal clear. We didn't know what to expect so we went planning to spend a few hours on the island. Come expecting to spend all day!
Shell Island has a fascinating amount of local wildlife including dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the lake on the island, marsh rabbits, racoons and more.
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.
