Shell Key Preserve
Shell Key Preserve is one of many great parks near St. Pete Beach. It can only be accessed by boat, as it is an island nature preserve and, therefore separate from the mainland. However, camping spots are available if you want to make the most of your time here.
The island is composed of a naturally occurring sandbar and shifts over time accordingly. Hurricane Irma carved a channel between Shell Key and the mainland, making it a proper island just offshore. It’s a great place to camp for a few days and enjoys some secluded peace relative to the mainland. The swimming is also great, but always use caution when swimming where there are ocean currents.
