A portion of Shell Island, a barrier-island that measures 7-miles long, is found at the south-eastern tip of Panama City Beach Florida's natural preserve St. Andrews State Park. This undeveloped stretch of white sandy beach, coastal scrubland & pine hammocks divides St. Andrew Bay and the open oceans of the Gulf of Mexico. Shell Island is an oasis for wildlife and marine life, as well as beach lovers who wish to escape the resorts, condominiums, and other developments that line the coast to the north.
