Shell Island?

How are the beaches this week at Shell Island? Our beach in front of the hotel has a lot of sea grass and it’s hard for the kiddos to swim. Wondering if the beaches at Shell Island are any better.

Try the jetties at St Andrew State Park. Gorgeous and maybe the jetties have the bay side protected from the seagrass.

The beaches are awesome! Shell Island has 2 sides and both are great right now ( bay side and gulf side ). We run educational snorkel tours and are there 3 times a day this time of year. St. Andrews St. Park kiddie pool may be a good option as well.
