Shell Island
Adjacent to St. Andrews State Park, the 7-mile long barrier island of Shell Island is completely undeveloped, which means it has some of the most pristine white sands in all of the Florida Panhandle! Marine life is plentiful and dolphins are common in this area, too.
Since you can only reach Shell Island via water, you’ll need to either kayak, book a jet ski or boat tour, or take the Shell Island Shuttle. (We did the jet ski tour.)
You’ll find the Shell Island Shuttle at Adventure at Sea, located at 5709 N. Lagoon Drive in Panama City Beach. It leaves every half-hour from 9am to 5pm in the summer and the last shuttle out is at 3pm.
