Shell Islad in Panama City Beach, Florida was ranked by USA Today Travel as one of the 20 Amazing American Beaches. Sitting in the Gulf of Mexico, this seven-mile-long barrier island is only reachable by private boat or shuttle. Since there are no places to grab a snack on land, pack a picnic lunch and enjoy Caribbean-like waters teeming with bottlenose dolphins.
