You can put your boat in at Saint Andrews municipal pier on the east side of the bay and then it’s a short run out to Shell Island. It’s free. We put our boat in at Bayside Marina on big daddy Drive. It’s just north of the Hathaway bridge on the east side. It’s a reasonable March fee, and just a little extra to use the wash down. It’s also a short run to the past . They’re the only place that has a wash rack to wash your boat down, unless you’re keeping your boat out of Renna. We wash ours down every day we come out of the water.

The best local seafood restaurant in our opinion is the captains table on Beck Drive, Saint Andrews, right across from the Saint Andrews Bay marina. We’ll often just tie our boat down at the marina seawall and walk over to the captains table to eat. The best dessert is the drunken ugly at Bayou Joe’s and it’s also on the east side of the bay just south of the marina. You go under a drawbridge and it’s on the left on the water, You can tie your boat up and on your boat or you can get out and eat. They have decent seafood also.
Feel free to message me and we can chat. I grew up in Pensacola, but we spend most of our time at Panama City Beach now.

Very cool!
We spent last wk looking at houses from Gulfport Ms to Mobile Al.
I think we are sold on retiring to the panhandle.
At bro-in-laws at Hilton Head now but too cold and too many people.
Went through Vero Beach Fla on way and spent a few days there w/friends.
Absolutely crazy traffic/people etc, since we left 12 yrs ago!
BTW, the day we left Gulfport, gas was $2.90 per.
10 hrs later, in Fla, it was $3.60!
