This is a unique experience! The ferry boat operates every day in spring and summer and almost every day in autumn and winter. The journey to the island takes around twenty minutes. You have great chances of seeing dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. Seabirds are often seen on the boat ride from Shell Key to the island.
Shell Island is an iconic Panama City Beach location that offers unspoiled white-sand beach experiences. The island has plenty of sandy beaches, and tranquil inshore waters for great snorkeling and swimming. You will see many beautiful tropical fish, turtles, and dolphins in the area. Shell Island's interior can be explored on foot.

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 with this so we went planning to spend a few hours on the island. Come expecting to spend all day!
Shell Island is on the west coast of Wales about 7 miles north of Barmouth. There is a road leading to there that you drive on, but at certain high tides the sea covers the road.
