Shell Island

With sparkling clear water bordering its sugar-white sandy shore, Shell Island is a rare opportunity to experience a beach as nature intended, without any distractions. Accessible but preserved, Shell Island is seven miles of undeveloped paradise nestled between the gulf and St. Andrew Bay and inhabited by diverse wildlife. Shell Island has all the makings of a perfect activity-filled beach vacation.

Admission Included

St. Andrews State Park

With the Gulf of Mexico on one side and St. Andrews Bay on the other, visitors who crave swimming, snorkeling or surfing will be more than satisfied. Theodore Tollofson evidently liked what he saw when he shipwrecked on what is now St. Andrews State Park during a 1929 hurricane. He homesteaded in his derelict boat for the next 25 years. Now, state park visitors can experience what kept “Teddy the Hermit” at St. Andrews — sugar white sands, emerald green waters and a vast array of ever-changing winged creatures. The park is a popular migratory stopover for numerous bird and butterfly species. Besides boasting a mile-and-a-half of pristine beaches for fishing and swimming, St. Andrews also offers the chance for visitors to stroll through pines and along dunes and coastal plant communities or stay overnight in the campground.

Prior to coming to PCB, we asked the kids what were their top must do items. Of course dolphin site seeing, snorkeling, and visiting shell island were at the top of their list. When I spoke with the rep, she was able to find us the perfect trip that checked all our boxes, and best of all, it was for the same day. Captain Connor was awesome and super knowledgeable. He was flexible to what the kids were wanting to see and do. The kids were most excited about seeing dolphins, and we were not disappointed. Captain Connor always seemed to know exactly where they were going to be and the kids couldn't get enough. I cannot stress how many dolphins we were able to see! If you're in PCB and want to get out on the water for some fun, I would highly recommend booking with Paradise Adventures. We will definitely book another trip with them the next time we're back in PCB.

Great time with captain Glen on a center console boat. He was an excellent driver, very respectful and went above to make sure we had a good time!

A private boat with only our family and the captain on board, cold drinks beautiful water and the destination is entirely up to you. Dolphin watching, chase down a school of tarpons, sunset photos, collecting shells, or stop for a swim on a beach entirely to yourself. This is the tour to take for a truly unforgettable time. When the tour is over you'll be able to say, "We get to live like this".

This was a very nice boat tour. Glen, our captain, was very nice and friendly. He took us to Shell Island at the perfect time of day, it was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely book again.

Trip was beyond amazing!!! Perfect weather saw LOTS OF DOLPHINS and Captin Conner was a total Bad Ass!!! Took 2 hour boat ride, went to shell island and kids had a blast snorkeling. They all saw tons of fish. Best part my 15 year old son who is autistic had The BEST time! Conner even had a ladder that made it easier for my son to get back on the boat.Conner could not have been anymore patient and helpful. Don't walk but run go book.. you can thank me later!

We had an amazing boat ride! Captain Connor went above and beyond the expectations. We went to multiple spots and we saw dolphins and a sea turtle! Snorkeling was so much fun and Captain Connor even found us a sea urchin and a large crab. I would highly recommend this experience!

Trevor went above and beyond what I feel like was expected of him. He was very helpful and took us to a great spot for snorkeling. The water was too choppy on the day we went to enter the Gulf, but my kids had a blast nonetheless. Wouldn't hesitate to go again!

Trevor and the dolphins. Excellent captain, managed to smooth out some rough ones so I stayed pretty dry the whole time.. never seen so many dolphins up close. He was very good woth my kid, he's 10 and was nervous but he hooked him up! Well be back for the full day tour with Trevor, hopefully in July!

Wow!!! This was the absolute biggest highlight of our vacation, and it is all thanks to our skillful and intentional captain. Captain Trevor made our private boat tour so incredibly special. This past week, my husband and I were on our honeymoon, and we left in awe at how perfect our last night was thanks to our wonderful captain. When waters were rough, he made a very respectable decision to keep us safe and cruise on the bay while listening to romantic music. Despite the detour, he still managed to find dolphins for us to enjoy - literally feet away from our boat. We then rode into the lagoon and danced to our first dance song while watching the most beautiful sunset. On top of being our captain, dj, and cheerleader, Captain Trevor also took these amazing pictures that my husband and I will have for the rest of our lives and will get to show our kids one day. We will absolutely be coming back, and we will 100% be requesting our Captain Trevor - it feels like we made a new pal for life!! 5 stars.

The 2 hour dolphin tour was great. Trevor was a fantastic captain, paying attention to entertaining our little kids, taking us extra places to snorkel around a sunken ship, and fielding conversation from my talkative 78 year old father for a long time! Totally enjoyable experience (although don't expect to see a lot of fish snorkeling in the Gulf!)
