Panama City Beach Florida is a great place to visit. You can have a fun day on the water with your Panama City Beach pontoon boat rentals. One of our Panama City Beach dolphin cruises will take you right to the mouths of local bottlenose dolphins. Join us on our Panama City Beach snorkeling tour.
The Grand Lagoon is an excellent place to enjoy a Panama City Beach snorkeling adventure. Our snorkel tour captains know all the best spots around the St. Andrews State Park jetty and out on Shell Island. Explore marine habitats that range from sand bottom to shallow grass flats, to the rocky faces of the jetties. You can expect to see tropical fish, crabs, rays, and if you are lucky, a sea turtle or some of the resident bottle nose dolphins. If you don’t have your own snorkel gear, high-quality equipment is available for rent or you can get it as part of a complete Panama City Beach snorkel tour package.
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.
