"St. Andrews bay is home to more than 2,900 species. It is America's most varied estuary. The clear waters of St. Andrews Bay can hold almost every species you could imagine. It is also one coast estuary with the highest risk. We must continue to protect it. Mike Brim Executive Director St. Andrews Bay Environmental Science Team.
It's possible that we won’t find dolphins playing in their natural habitat because we're exploring it. Our guides have been doing this for many years and are familiar with all the areas that the dolphins love. Nearly every tour we do encounter the wild dolphins.
We encourage it. You can travel solo or with your partner and enjoy a quiet moment in paradise. Or you can cruise with your family and search for souvenir seashells or sand dollars.
