Shell Island can only be accessed by boat, and the Shell Island Ferry is the easiest, safest, and quickest way for visitors to reach Shell Island. As the official Shell Island Ferry service of St. Andrews State Park, the Shell Island Ferry has been ferrying guests between the St. Andrews State Park Marina and Shell Island for many years.

We drop you off on the best spot of Shell Island inside of the Jetty Rocks. From there it is just a short walk over to the pristine white sandy beaches and the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. You can stay on the island as long as you would like up until the last boat. We run back and forth from the mainland to the island about every 30 minutes during the summer and every hour during off-season.

Shell Island is a local must-see location for Panama City Beach visitors looking for the unspoiled white-sand beach experience. The island offers plenty of beach space and peaceful inshore waters where swimming and snorkeling are great. Colorful tropical fish, dolphins, and sea turtles are common in the waters around the island. On land, hiking the interior of Shell Island is an opportunity to explore rare coastal plants, bird, and wildlife communities.

Due to high demand, reservations are strongly encouraged to ensure you have a spot on the ferry.

Available: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
