For Panama City Beach residents looking for unspoiled white-sand beaches, Shell Island is a must-see spot. There is plenty of beach space on the island, as well as calm inshore waters that are ideal for snorkeling and swimming. The waters around the island are home to many colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. You can explore the Shell Island interior by foot, where you will find rare birds and other wildlife.


Shell Island is a place that offers a glimpse into the past of Florida, before tourism was so prevalent. While we love our tourists and enjoy sharing the Florida experience with them all, it is becoming increasingly crowded. Shell Island is a completely different experience from Panama City Beach. However, you will have to visit there to enjoy the full experience.
