⚠️ CAUTION! STRONG CURRENTS ⚠️
Please be cautious, watch for boats, and stay near the jetty rocks. I recommend wearing a life jacket or a snorkeling vest.
The jetties in Panama City Beach at St. Andres State Park are easily accessible from the beach and there is a vast amount of sea life which includes many Caribbean species not seen in other areas of the Florida NW Gulf Coast. Water clarity can be clear depending on the tides and weather, but even when the water is a bit murky the shallow water and vast sea life will still produce a great snorkel experience. There is a portion of the jetty that extends inward toward the bay (referred to as the cove or kiddie pool) and is relatively shallow so the potential of spotting sea life is greater and you can also easily cross the jetty in some spots to look on the deeper channel side. In this area, there are also sections of small jetties laid out end to end to explore that are close to the beach. You can also snorkel the jetty as it extends outward towards the Gulf which starts shallow but gradually deepens, but you will need to use a dive flag.

I tried scuba for first time there in 1991. Now I’m a Dive Master. Always be a special place for me.
It's definitely a great spot to scuba. Love this place.
I totally agree.
My family loves to visit that area of Florida. The Jetties at St
Andrews are the best place to snorkel
That's right‼️ 💯
I dove it today to finish up my scuba certification and it was amazing. Highly highly recommend
Great spot for snorkeling and diving... for sure! 😁
I spent years visiting PCB and never visited the jetties.. but once I was introduced it ended up being a daily trip while on vacation.
Each day is a totally different adventure
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME! Thnx for sharing and STAY SALTY!
Thanks so much! I couldn't agree more... I love spending time snorkeling at the jetties. 😁👍
Destin has a great snorkeling spot also. It's at the jetties as well. We live in the best area in the whole world , The Emerald Coast rocks.
Absolutely! I have lots of videos snorkeling at Norriego Point and the East Pass Jetty in Destin.. you should check them out. 😀👍
Very nice! This is one of your better videos, and that's saying something. Just showed this to my wife and she dove this site years ago before we were married. We met at a dive club meeting while I was doing a slide show of my underwater photos. Your videos always make me want to get back underwater. Thanks.
Thanks Bill.. that's means a lot and very much appreciated.
Love it! My sister just moved here and she was asking me about snorkeling so of course, I told her “you got to check out my buddy Tony’s channel!” Going to show her all your Destin jetty vids! Thanks Tony, catch up to you soon. Be careful with these storms!
Thanks so much Jamie. I appreciate the word of mouth and sharing my Destin snorkeling experiences 😁🤿📸🐡🦀🦈🐙🐟🐠🐬
Extraordinary footage! Please continue posting. Thanks!
Thanks so much! With encouragement like this I sure will 😉👍
Wow! Fabulous underwater footage! Well done. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀👍
Much appreciated! 😁🤿📸
Great video, I love that you tell the type of creatures you encountered. I also loved that you gave the exact location and how to find it. Thanks
Thanks very much! Glad you liked it... the fish identification is difficult sometimes, but for the most part I'm able to identify. I bought a book that helps a lot. 😁
I'm planning to go to panama city beach. I enjoyed your video. Thank you!
Welcome! I appreciate that. I hope you have a great time. 😁
Hi and great video Tony! Once I'm at the Panama City beach...seems to be a great snorkeling there 👌 Warm regards and thumb up for your video 👍
Thanks Jens! Appreciate it... PCB is very nice 😁
Going to PCB in two weeks with my family and I can’t wait to show my mom this. Definitely going to this place! Cant wait.
You're going to love it! Have fun. 😁👍
Thank you for this info! We are in PCB and had to check this spot out! Pretty cool!!
Welcome.. glad you found the video helpful and hopefully entertaining. Let me know how your day there turns out. 😁👍📸🤿🐬🦀🐡🦈🐟🐠🐙
I’m going there in like 3 days super excited
You should be... it's fantastic. Have fun! 🙂
Cool! Another fantastic video!
Thanks! Probably my favorite video so far 😁
We love St. Andrews! It's a great place to snorkel and to walk the beach. In your description you answered some of my questions. I get a little nervous on the channel side with all the boats and current. I did some snorkeling on the channel side of the jetty across at Shell Island. It was very productive in sea life. Have you been over to Gator Lake? I would probably leave the snorkel in the car. They do exist! 🐊great video!
Thanks very much. Yes, I like going over to gator lake and walking around.🚶♂️🐊😳
Nice video! Loved the clip of the crevalle jack. Also, only 15 subs from 1k!
Thanks! Getting close. One of my favorite snorkels 😁
rocks and corals
Nice video!
Thank you very much! 🙂
St Andrews PCB is a very special place.......
Yes! Indeed 😁
You’re swimming with a barracuda and I saw one briefly and swam the other way fast, maybe I didn’t have anything to worry about!
I'll venture close, but try not to push it. If the barracuda stands it ground I don't venture any further. It is exciting to see one isn't? 😁👍
I dare you to grab that jellyfish.
Cannonball!!🌊🤣
Do you ever go to the other set of jetties across the channel?
I haven't been to Shell Island yet, but plan on it. Have you?
@@thetoneman yup! There's lots of wildlife on the inside (Channel side) of both jetties.
Is one side better than the other?
If your referring to the bay side (kiddie pool) or Gulf side... they are both great. The bay side (kiddie pool) does have shallower water for a longer stretch than the Gulf side but both are teeming with sea life. 😁
@@thetoneman No, I mean the east or west side of the pass and then on which side of jetties on that respective side.
Hello...what time of day do you usually go for the best visability?
The best time is two hours prior to high tide. You can check Panama City Beach tides here ➡️ tides4fishing.com/us/florida-west-coast/panama-city-beach-outside
@@thetoneman I'm planning on going to PCB on June 7th of this year. The chart says High Tide will be at 7:02am on that day. That would mean the best snorkeling visibility would be at 5:02 am (if the best visibility is two hours before High Tide). Is that what you're saying? I'm a bit confused.
@@btellez74 yes, that's exactly right. The problem is that St.Andrews State Park doesn't open until 8AM. Sometimes the tides are not in our favor. You can still snorkel just may not be as clear... you can also try the jetty portion on the Gulf side as it stays clearer longer as the tide goes out.
@@thetoneman okie dokie. thank you so much for responding. :)
How far out did you have to go
Not far at all... the jetties at St. Andrews State Park are very close to shore and the water is shallow in most areas. 😁👍
Is this free? How do you get to the beach at the jetties to go snorkeling? We are coming next week and my daughter wants to go snorkeling so bad!
St Andrews State Park charges $8 per day/per car load. There is a Google Maps link in the description, but when you enter the park just follow the signs to the jetty/jetty store. Your daughter will love it. Have fun! 😁👍
When does the water ever look like this ?? I have only lived here for 4 months and dive almost every single day and I have yet to see the water look like this
The last few months there has been alot of rain. With a good stretch of good weather and high tide you will see it. 😁👍
Can you spearfish at St. Andrew's state park?
Spearfishing is not allowed at St. Andrews State Park.
