Have fun on the water with a pontoon boat rental. Boat over to Shell Island and cruise the bay waterfront, watch for dolphins, swim, fish, snorkel or hit the beach. Head to the Pier, Jetty, and Camp stores for beach chairs and umbrellas, fishing bait and tackle, snacks and drinks. Add some fun to your Panama City Beach adventure with a kayak or stand-up paddleboard rental to paddle along the gorgeous, calm, shallow waters of the St. Andrews Jetty shoreline in St. Andrews State Park.
