Discover Hidden Treasures with Shelling Tours in St. James, Florida
If you love the beach and the thrill of finding nature’s treasures, a Shelling Tour from NautiDolphin Marina is the perfect adventure. These guided trips take you to secluded islands and untouched sandbars where the shoreline is covered with an incredible variety of shells—many you simply won’t find on crowded public beaches. It’s a peaceful, hands-on way to explore Florida’s natural beauty while collecting keepsakes to remember your trip.
Shelling is one of the most fun and relaxing activities you can partake in. Whether it be with the kids or on your own, it is a peaceful thing to do.
Your journey begins with a scenic boat ride through the sparkling waters around St. James, often passing playful dolphins, gliding seabirds, and lush mangrove coastlines. Once you arrive at your shelling destination, you’ll have time to wander the shore, search for rare shells, and take in the quiet, unspoiled surroundings. Our knowledgeable crew can help you identify different shell species and share insights about the marine life that once called them home.
Shelling Tours are ideal for families, couples, and nature lovers of all ages. Kids especially enjoy the treasure-hunt feel of the experience, while adults appreciate the peaceful escape from busy beaches. Many guests also enjoy swimming, wading, or relaxing in the shallow waters between shelling sessions, making it a well-rounded day of fun and relaxation.
When your adventure comes to an end, you’ll return to NautiDolphin Marina with a collection of beautiful shells and memories to last a lifetime. Whether you’re a dedicated collector or just looking for a unique way to spend time on the water, a Shelling Tour offers a perfect blend of exploration, education, and coastal charm.
