A guide to St. Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach Florida. The Park is a natural setting for outdoor recreation and relaxation, and you can take the Shell Island Shuttle out to the pristine beaches of undeveloped Shell Island.
Explore the natural side of Panama City Beach with a visit to St. Andrews State Park. It’s a patch of old Florida Panhandle coastline with shady pine hammocks, endangered coastal scrub and wetland ecosystems, and a freshwater lake. The beautiful white sand beach and warm emerald-green waters are prime attractions, but the Park offers much more.
Plan a multi-day stay in the Pine Grove Campground, walk the Park’s two hiking loops, go bird and wildlife watching, or try out the equestrian trails. You can use the public boat launch to get on the water or rent a pontoon boat from Panama City Beach Boat Rentals. Try some kayaking, paddle boarding, or snorkeling – equipment rentals are available in the Park. Fishing is great from the Fishing Pier or the Jetty, and the Pier Store and Jetty Store have all the tackle and other supplies you need.
Don’t miss one of America’s most beautiful beaches just across the St. Andrew Bay Channel on Shell Island. An undeveloped seven-mile long barrier island, Shell Island is a unique Florida treasure that offers the unspoiled beach experience you won’t find on a resort-lined shore.
The Shell Island Shuttle is the official water transportation service to shell island. It’s the safest and quickest way out to the Island and you can bring all your beach gear along. Or try one of the Shell Island Shuttle kayaking or snorkeling packages. A day on pristine Shell Island is a highlight of any Panama City Beach visit.
