5Great time
Had a blast playing in the water and hunting shells.
5Highly recommend!! Both...
Highly recommend!! Both the guys on the boat were great, super informative and helpful. The ride over to shell island was worth the money in itself. Go give it a try you won’t be disappointed
1Very Disappointed
The ferry boat captains were amazing and very informative. As for shell 🐚 island very disappointing. From the website it showed that there would be shells everywhere: that was not the case, I understand that you can’t control the ocean but the website should be realistic about what the island is all about.
5Not to far away
A simple getaway to enjoy a beautiful arrea that is not too faraway. The time went quickly leaving me wanting more.
5Family Shell Island
The trip and guides were equally awesome!
5Thanks for the best time!!
The boat captain and crew (Ryan and Drew) were the absolute best. From the trip over to the trip back, they were respectful, knowledgeable and so much fun!! And Shell Island was a little paradise within itself! I will definitely be returning next year!

About Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is a Florida Panhandle resort on the Gulf of Mexico, with white quartz sand, clear green water and state park dunes.
Panama City Beach stretches for about forty kilometres along the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida Panhandle, a resort strip of condominiums and beach houses fronting white sand that squeaks underfoot. The sand is fine quartz washed down from the Appalachian Mountains, and the Gulf is clear and emerald green. Pier Park is the shopping and entertainment centre of the strip.
