Snorkeling is good around the St. Andrews State Park jetty, and excellent out on Shell Island. Habitats range from sand bottom, to shallow grass flats, to the rocky faces of the jetties. Expect to see tropical fish, crabs, rays, and if you are lucky, a sea turtle or some of the resident bottlenose dolphins. If you don’t have your own gear, snorkel equipment is available for rent at the Jetty Store, or get it as part of a complete package along with Shuttle tickets on a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.


Shell Island Water Taxi makes it easy and affordable to take your family on a day trip. Get your snorkel gear from the rental box, grab some lunch and get on the Shell Island Water Taxi. There is no hassle, fuss, or tourist pricing. Just a day of fun at Shell Island snorkeling with your family. Shell Island Water Taxi makes it easy to enjoy the beauty of Shell Island, and its wild inhabitants.
