Shell Island is a great place to visit on a trip to Florida's Gulf Coast. Adventures at Sea has the best cruises available in Panama City Beach. These include snorkeling in the shallows and visiting St. Andrews Bay.
St. Andrew Bay is home to one of the world’s largest resident populations of bottlenose dolphins, the iconic gray dolphins that most people are familiar with from television, movies, and marine parks. The dolphins of St. Andrew Bay are wild animals but they are accustomed to the presence of people and it is common for boaters on the Bay to find themselves among a group of swimming, feeding, and playing dolphins.
The shallows surrounding Shell Island and St. Andrews Bay offer stunning views. If you have your snorkeling equipment, you can see amazing sights in the Gulf. Take along an underwater camera and take home photos that you will be able to share with friends.
