These wild animals live in their natural habitats and do what is best for them. Their behavior and mood dictate how they interact with us. Although encounters are common, we cannot guarantee they. The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1982 and subsequent amendments to it, along with the laws of Florida, bind us. We are strictly prohibited from feeding and harassing dolphins. Thank you for understanding.

A great way to spend a Shell Island Beach Day is to rent a pontoonboat. A pontoon boat can be safely operated, is stable, spacious, or used by a group of friends. This is a great way to visit Shell Island. You can cruise St. Andrew Bay's clear blue waters and enjoy the beautiful Shell Island's sugar-white sands from your own pleasure craft.

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.

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.

These wild animals do what they love in their natural habitat. We observe these animals on their terms, and are sensitive to their moods and activities. It is possible to have encounters quite often, but it is impossible to guarantee that they will happen. The laws of The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1973 and its subsequent amendments as well as the laws of Florida are ours. We are forbidden from harassing or feeding dolphins. Thank you for understanding.
