A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLACE

Let the day unfold.

Shell Island is reached by boat. The official park concessionaire offers ferry information and booking, making it a place to plan ahead rather than a spontaneous drive-up beach stop.

Before you go

Confirm departure and return times, weather, and what to bring with your operator. Pack water, sun protection, and a way to carry your belongings back.

Make it part of your day

Give the island its own part of the day, then return to your home for an easy evening.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

A good day deserves
a place to come back to.

Explore 6319 and 6321 Poinciana Drive. Two private homes on Panama City Beach’s east end.
