Drive to Panama City Beach (approximately 30-40 mins), rent a boat (multiple companies, just Google it!) and cruise across the bay over to Shell Island, a secluded beautiful beach. Don’t forget to bring your own drinks, food, chairs, umbrellas (there is nothing for sale there and no shade). Don’t forget to stop at Bayou Joe’s (850-763-6442) on the way out or back for an excellent casual meal overlooking the bay. Pull your boat right up to the restaurant dock. Enjoy!
