If you want to try snorkeling in Panama City Beach, the waters around Shell Island and St. Andrews State Park are some of the best. The Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC gives you access to this 7-mile long, 700-acre undeveloped barrier island where the land and water are in a natural and unspoiled condition that allows marine life to flourish.

The western end of Shell Island is some of the best snorkeling in Panama City Beach, Florida. The best way to gain access is by arranging transport to the Island on the Shell Island Shuttle. As the official Shell Island Shuttle water transport provider, the Shuttle is the safest and quickest way to reach Shell Island.

The Shuttle will drop you off at the “children’s pool” as the calm, sheltered waters behind the Shell Island Jetty are called. This is the perfect spot for beginners to get the feel of snorkeling and it is also a great place to start a snorkel safari.
