A relaxing cruise through St. Andrews Bay to Shell Island is a great way to have fun and relax. This barrier island, which is undeveloped and stretches 7 miles long, is a favorite among locals and one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Shell Island is a beautiful place to walk, see dolphins and collect shells.

The St. Andrews State Park includes the western half of Shell Island. It is as natural as Florida can get. You won't find yourself stopping at a snack stand or at a picnic table. You will have the opportunity to view some of the most stunning, unspoiled wild land on the East Coast. You will have the opportunity to see endangered species.

It was a 3 hour long tour that was truly amazing. Captain made sure we saw dolphins. He even took us on a trip to a wreck! It was super fun, and the children loved snorkeling at Shell Island. Everyone, regardless of age, should go snorkeling on Shell Island.

Dolphins can be found in their natural habitat and are not kept in cages or in netted areas. To better view the wild dolphins, polarized sunglasses are highly recommended. It is very rare that we do not see dolphins.
