Egmont Key Island is an uninhabited barrier island, and a wildlife preserve, and is at the main entrance to Tampa Bay. Currently a Florida State Park, Egmont is host to what was formerly Fort Dade, established during the Spanish-American war around 1900. It is a sight to see, especially the portions of it which are now sunken ruins after giving in to the Gulf's waves over the years. The snorkeling at Egmont's sunken ruins is fascinating! On the eastern side of the island sits the Egmont Lighthouse built in 1848.  

We also take you to Shell Key island, another uninhabited wildlife preserve, for more great snorkeling. At Shell Key, the snorkeling is in 3 to 4 feet of water depth, and very kid friendly. It's a great place to find live starfish and conchs. You'll also get to see rays (harmless), horseshoe crab, hermit crab, and the occasional sea turtle and manatee. Shell Key is a hidden snorkeling gem.

All this available from our St Pete Beach dock at the Pass-a-Grille Marina.​
