SHELL ISLAND
ST. PETERSBURG

Shell Island is a Florida jewel. This protected sanctuary for thousands of nesting sea birds is located just north of Fort Desoto Park. On your way out to Shell Island, you will pass though an enchanting mangrove tunnel and get an inside perspective of a mangrove forest. You will see shy mangrove crabs hiding around mangrove limbs and oysters clinging to the mangrove's "walking roots". Once on the island, shell collecting, shoreline walks, and swimming in the gulf are the favorite activities, along with a beach blanket lunch. This is also a favorite TGIF night paddle.

In the fall an overnight dinner party is held on this island once a month. Need to bring: beverages, coffee mug, fire log, something special for the sunset hors d'oeuvres.
