The Grand Lagoon is a great spot to go on a Panama City Beach Snorkeling Adventure. Our snorkel trip captains are well-versed in the best spots at the St. Andrews State Park dock and Shell Island. The marine habitats include sand bottom, shallow grass flats, and the rocky face of the jetties. It is possible to spot tropical fish and crabs as well as rays. You can either rent snorkel gear from Panama City Beach or buy it as part your Panama City Beach snorkel trip package.

Frequently Asked Questions

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).
