Between the Gulf of Mexico and St Andrews Bay, Shell Island is a 700-acre, undeveloped piece of paradise and is home to a dense population of bottlenose dolphins, deer, sea turtles, and ghost crabs. It’s also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with shorebirds to be discovered nesting in the dunes. A family-friendly island with lots of activities, you can kayak, swim, and snorkel, and, as its name promises, the island is littered with thousands of beautiful shells, including periwinkles, moon snails, sand dollars, conch shells, and pink shells.
