Late spring through early fall gives snorkelers the strongest chance of seeing juvenile tropical fish in the seagrass beds around St. Andrews Bay, since warmer water brings more young fish into these shallow nursery areas. You will spot small pinfish, snapper, trout, and drums hiding among the grass. A snorkel trip that puts you near this type of habitat is the Panama City Beach Shell Island Dolphin and Snorkel Cruise, which includes snorkeling in the protected bay behind Shell Island.
