The staff here was so curtious and easy to deal with. If you have the time, spending a few hours hanging out at Shell Island is perfect fun for the entire family. Splashing in the calmer water, finding so many Beautiful shells and riding on one of their pontoons let us make it our own experience.

It was my birthday weekend with my friends and it was amazing! We loved the privacy of it just being us but were able to meet more people on their Tiki boat and have a couple drinks! AMAZING! And the best part after seeing dolphins was being pulled by the Coast Guard for a routine safety check! They were super nice and the one with the Ray Bans, I hope to see you again! 1000/10! We’re already planning another trip SOON!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
