This beach and it's pristine water are accessible only by boat. This side on the Gulf Of Mexico is an Aquatic Preserve. The bay side is on St Andrews Bay. It is a favorite place for local boaters to gather.

Top Shell Island Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is exceptional, rooms are clean and have better than average toiletries and the free breakfast is hot and fresh."

Hyatt Place Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Gulf front balcony provided a beautiful view and a relaxing experience with the convenience of never leaving the room. The complimentary breakfast starts at 7a which is a bit later than other places, but was definitely worth it. The heated outdoor pool was the best feature according to our 12yr old son. The only negative, which wasn’t even a problem for us, was walking across the street to the parking garage ($20/night). If you come and go a bunch it could be a pain. We would definitely stay here again!!"
