Is Shell Island Open In Panama City Beach

Can you collect shells on Shell Island


Our Dolphin and snorkeling tours start with a search for wildlife. We often find the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. Our Tour guides and Captains are both locals and are familiar with the dolphin behavior in Panama City Beach.


The Dolphins you will see on our Dolphin Tours are Bottlenose Dolphins (the same as the famous Flipper). Since they are mostly found in shallow waters, they are fairly easy to find. What makes our location in St. Andrews Bay State Park unique, is that this area is where the Dolphins hunt for food. They also frequently visit Shell Island to check out the vacationers. They are very curious and playful in nature. Our guests are always so amazed at the nature of these amazing creatures and are surprised how easy it is to get close to them.
