Just off Sanctuary Beach, and only minutes to the St. Andrews Pass, jetties, and
Gulf of Mexico, lies St. Andrews Bay, a playground for both the nature that thrives
there and the residents that are privileged enough to make a home there.
There you can find bottlenose dolphin and manta ray gliding among sea grass and
sugar-white sand.
In the depths of this renowned State Aquatic Preserve, fishermen will find some
of Northwest Florida's finest catches of trout, redfish, pompano and mackerel.
Deep-sea fishing beyond St. Andrews Bay produces near-shore varieties such as
grouper, snapper, and scamp along with offshore varieties like record billfish,
marlin, tuna and Wahoo.

Shell Island:
Across the bay waters from Sanctuary Beach, Shell Island rests among windswept
dunes and sea oats, an uninhabited barrier island that is only accessible by
boat. Residents of Sanctuary Beach will have this view from their front doors
for generations to come.
