Shell Key Review
If you want to find the most pristine beach possible without heading to some remote outpost, this is your best bet. The shuttle to this seemingly remote paradise runs out of Pass-A-Grille. You can catch it most days at 10 am, noon, and 2 pm. If you do, expect some amazing snorkeling, shelling, and bird-watching. You can also kayak or canoe here from a launch near Fort DeSoto. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; swimming; walking.
- Address: 801 Pass-A-Grille Way, Pass-A-Grille, St. Pete Beach, FL, 33706
