Shell Key is a small narrow barrier island located in Pinellas County, Florida. Our journey takes us over the Skyway Bridge towards St. Petersburg. We take exit 17 and proceed to make our way to Fort DeSoto Park area.

The primary ways to reach Shell Key is by boat or by kayak (or other water craft), of which the Shell Key Ferry launches daily from Fort DeSoto and has a fee of $25 per person. As I mention earlier, when taking a kayak out, be sure to review your map prior to departure.


The kayak ride can take up to an hour to reach Shell Key, depending upon where you launch from. So remember to bring enough water, sunscreen, and snacks. There are kayak rental kiosks when you enter the Fort DeSoto Park and pay the entrance fee.


On this adventure, we saw a live sea urchin, two crabs, two jelly fish, and a sand dollar. Its pretty cool to see all this underwater life!
