St. Andrews State Park
St. Andrews State Park Review
At the southeastern tip of Panama City Beach, all at once the hotels and condos and traffic stops and there suddenly appears a pristine 1,260-acre park that includes beaches, pinewoods, and marshes. Complete camping facilities are here and a snack bar, too, as well as places to swim, pier-fish, and hike on clearly marked nature trails. Board a ferry to Shell Island—a 700-acre barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico with some of the best shelling between here and southwest Florida's Sanibel Island. A rock jetty creates a calm, shallow play area that is perfect for young children. Come to this spectacular park for a peek at what the entire beach area looked like before developers sank their claws into it.
