The Shell Island Ferry, which is officially the Shell Island Ferry service provided by St. Andrews State Park Marina, has been transporting guests between Shell Island Island and St. Andrews State Park Marina since 1999.
The St. Andrews State Park encompasses the western half Shell Island. It's as Florida-like as you can get. It doesn't mean you won’t stop at a food court or picnic table. You will still have the chance to see some beautiful, unspoiled wilderness on the East Coast. A variety of endangered species can be seen.
Once you get there it is all worth it, as it is the most beautiful water I've ever seen. It is like you are swimming in a pool. It is so crystal clear. We didn't know what to expect so we went planning to spend a few hours on the island. Come expecting to spend all day!
This island is not as secluded as you see on the pictures and we couldn't find any of the cool shells either. (I understand that it's nature and can't be controlled).
Agree with above, go around 11 a.m., to get the best of daytime sun, because April has some fairly cool days. over a year ago. I'd plan for late morning/early afternoon. There's no shade so if it is really warm you don't want to be there at the absolute hottest part of the day.
The waters around Shell Island are home to a large group of bottlenose dolphins. You can encounter these amazing marine mammals at home in their natural habitat on one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
